On part one of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion, chaos ensues. The Santorini set manages to transport the ladies back to their trip, and all of the memories (good, bad, or otherwise) come flooding back. As they get reminded of issues past and present, Lisa demands to be heard, and Bronwyn questions the validity of their truce. Angie is ready to call Lisa out for a bombshell, which may point to Lisa being the troll and the leak.
Angie is thrilled to be transported back to her beloved Greece with the set design, and Andy jokes about having medics nearby in case accident-prone Angie has any accidents. Meredith has taken a DJing break for the holidays and the reunion, and Bronwyn will, unfortunately, only be donning one look for us. Whitney is back to blond, and Heather is still talking about being Mormon. Mary is ready to eat, drink, and be Mary, but all that is about to change once Whitney begins to clear the air with Meredith.
Whitney admits to being super drunk at BravoCon, but she claims she was a happy drunk. She wanted Meredith to be her friend, but Meredith points out that they have the same friendship on and off camera. Meredith has since established boundaries with Whitney and does not appreciate Whitney lying about her.
Whitney promises she will never try to be Meredith’s friend again, but she wonders why, when Lisa said horrible things about Meredith, Meredith is able to move on. Whitney stands by everything she has said this season, and Meredith continues to deny ever lying about Whitney. Whitney wants Meredith to own her sh*t, but Meredith explains that she will simply own her truth.
A walk down memory lane reminds us just how much chaos Lisa was wrapped up in this season. Heather refers to Lisa as a risky friend, and to that, Lisa calls Heather snaky. Lisa does not like that Heather encourages people to do things because it would be funny.
Lisa denies tag-teaming with Meredith, which causes Heather to be aghast. Meredith claims that Lisa is simply “supportive and loyal,” not “riding for her.” Mary points out that Lisa is a little bit delusional (i.e., “I live a very different life than all of you”), and Whitney still finds it odd that Lisa missed a girls’ trip. According to Whitney, Lisa loves any opportunity to film, and if she WAS working, where were Lisa’s pictures of the star-studded event?
Whitney goes on to throw some shade, stating that she thought Lisa was in Miami recovering from some face work. Lisa finds it upsetting that instead of championing her, the ladies choose to bash her and liken her to Jen Shah.
Bronwyn explains that she jumped on the bashing Lisa bandwagon because they were not friends. Lisa had blocked Bronwyn on everything; therefore, Bronwyn felt no need to protect Lisa. After all, Lisa should stop playing with fire because she keeps getting burned.
Regarding the lawsuits mentioned this season, Lisa currently has one pending case and one case actively being litigated. The rest have been dismissed, and so Lisa wonders why everyone is so worried about her legal issues. Lisa claims she has never owed anyone money, and a chaotic situation unravels.
Lisa and Bronwyn go back and forth. Bronwyn reminds Lisa they made a truce not to talk about families, and yet here is Lisa, recorded at BravoCon, bashing Todd. Lisa does not back down and agrees that Todd is a “dirty old man and a pervert.”
Lisa goes on to explain that gout d*ck sucker went viral, and it’s not her fault people keep bringing it up. Bronwyn is unsure why Lisa continues to involve her husband and states that she has purposely tried to stay away from her. Even though Bronwyn accepted Lisa’s apology on the boat, I fear that this feud will continue to go on and on.
Lisa laughs off the smoky eye interview look and states that the look simply did not land. When Angie is questioned about her brand opportunities, particularly the one with Arby’s, Lisa states that Angie “benefitted from” her “wins” and feels like Angie is copying everything she does. Angie thanks her for her “you do French fries, I do franchise” line for her Arby’s deal.
Since the premiere of RHOSLC, 100 episodes have been recorded. Watching a montage of the best moments and classic lines is incredible and reminds us just how great this franchise truly is. Andy points out all of the celebrities that love the show, including Julia Roberts. Meredith can hardly believe that she has made it to season six, and Whitney is proud of her honesty throughout the cathartic process. Mary has evolved and now tries to bring the group together. She admits that she did not feel like part of the group at the start, but now she loves the women.
Lisa feels misunderstood by the viewers and claims she is grounded (says the woman who feels as though she has a very different life than the ladies). Mary feels like she has changed the most in six years and Heather also believes she has changed. Heather is proud of herself for diving in, taking the opportunity, and doing the most with it.
Britani joins the set, and of course, she has her emotional support teddy bear with her. It says a new message from Jared, and it mentions how he will love her no matter what happens on the show. Britani is like a giddy child allowed to stay up late.
Heather claims that the group does not notice cameras anymore, so being on Below Deck did not really change anything for them. Britani claims that Heather was a bigger flirt than she was. Heather then clarifies that nothing sexual happened between her and Captain Jason — there was no kissing or anything, which sounds a lot different than what she insinuated on board.
Just because a case is sealed doesn’t mean a person can’t talk about it, but Bronwyn remains mum. All she gives us is that something happened at her workplace. She then points out if it was felony-level, she certainly would not have just gotten her citizenship.
Bronwyn explains in college she had disputes with a roommate, and now that they are done and over with, she will happily discuss them. Lisa denies leaking the information about Bronwyn’s past to the press, but Bronwyn thinks that Lisa makes sure stories get traction, especially when Lisa is mad at someone. Bronwyn knows that the story was out there, but someone from the boat spoke to a media outlet and pushed the story.
If Lisa is not the leak, then why does she have such protection (six attorneys and a cybersecurity team)? Heather pretends that she does not know what Lisa does for a living, which in turn makes Lisa spiral. What exactly is Luxe Marketing?
Lisa spews that she incubates brands and owns brands. Lisa calls Heather disgusting for asking what she does for a living. But Heather wonders how they can champion Lisa and her business if they don’t even know what she does. A hurt Lisa angrily lashes out at Bronwyn, claiming Bronwyn simply spends Todd’s money.
Despite Lisa’s flaws, Heather remains friends with her because she is an important friend. Angie takes this moment to whip out a tiny scroll and present it to Andy. Angie explains that Lisa was trolling Angie, and the phone number written on that scroll proves Lisa is guilty…
