Heather felt it was vital to increase the invite to Alexis, as nicely, as a result of this trigger helps her kids, too. Despite the fact that issues are out of hand between Alexis and Shannon, Heather is hopeful that the women can management themselves. However when Shannon finds out about *the* video Johnny J. has of her on the night time of the DUI, issues go downhill…
We get a glimpse into Heather’s forwards and backwards life-style. She is paying some huge cash in tolls, now that she is splitting her time between LA and the OC; nonetheless, she is doing it for her youngsters. The quicker pace of LA and the clear slate provides them the chance to thrive, which is vital to Heather and Terry, who need to shield their youngsters as they discover their very own paths. Heather is trying ahead to her upcoming fundraising occasion with Household Equality for LGBTQ+ households and is having the ladies stroll in a trend present to assist the group.
Earlier than the journey, Jenn calls Katie to elucidate she might be assembly all of them in Sonoma after her short-term youngster assist and alimony court docket date, which has lastly arrived. In any case this time, Jenn remains to be feeling overwhelmed, however Katie understands the place Jenn is coming from. Katie reminds us that when she left her then-husband, she had nothing. Katie needs she may very well be there to assist Jenn in court docket, however alas, Heather’s non-public aircraft to Sonoma is asking!
You higher imagine Fancy Pants has a seating chart on stated aircraft (primarily to maintain herself away from Katie, and to separate Alexis and Shannon). BTW, Alexis has but to say hi there to Shannon. Shannon is reeling from the current pictures of John and Alexis at their “crimson carpet debut” and shares, below her breath, that she purchased John the Ferragamo sneakers he’s sporting within the photos. OF COURSE Tamra yells this out to Alexis, juuuust to stir the pot and OF COURSE Heather scoffs at the price of the sneakers that have been on sale for less than about $375-$475, “not unhealthy.” This can be a reminder that Tamra is nobody’s pal and that Heather is wealthy.
As soon as they contact down in Sonoma, Alexis wonders if she ought to discuss to Shannon, however worries she would possibly make issues worse between them. Gina questions if Alexis actually desires to be Shannon’s “executioner,” significantly in terms of this ticking time bomb video.
The ladies examine into their glamping homes and I can’t think about what they might be like in the event that they actually needed to huff it within the wilderness. After coming to phrases with their quarters, they break up up for lunch. Gina wonders why Shannon would really feel like she must drink, particularly if she has a sober buddy to staff up with. There is just one cause Shannon would order a cocktail: Alexis.
Over lunch, Shannon’s group chuckles about Alexis and John’s “crimson carpet debut.” That is blowing Shannon’s thoughts, contemplating John claimed she ruined his life for being too public. What’s with John? Everyone knows one factor he DOES need: cash. I imply, he’s suing Shannon, she provided an quantity, nevertheless it’s not adequate, thus main us to imagine this lawsuit isn’t concerning the cash. And why DOES he want this sum from Shannon? To purchase Alexis her engagement ring??
Shannon is aware of this an influence transfer by John, who clearly desires to spoil her popularity. Shannon tells Emily, Gina, and Katie that she provided to pay about half the quantity he requested for, however this entire factor looks like extortion.
Within the meantime, Alexis is simply completely satisfied to be included in Heather’s occasion, since this topic is close to and expensive to her coronary heart along with her kids. She desires all the things to be put to relaxation throughout the group, but continues to deliver up all of the drama between Shannon and John…
Heather brings Tamra and Alexis to one of many wineries that she has teamed up with for a champagne collab. Household Equality requested her to do that, and so got here up with 4 totally different glowing wines “loosely” based mostly on every of her kids. Earlier than tasting the wines, the ladies hear some nice information. Florida was sued for the Don’t Say Homosexual Legal guidelines and with the assistance of Household Equality, the legislation has been modified, which is a big change for households all over the place.
Jenn meets up with the group after her court docket case and he or she shares that it didn’t go how she thought it could. For one, her ex doesn’t even have a look at her and for an additional factor, she will get a measly $6,000 a month for 5 youngsters. This isn’t some huge cash, however everyone knows Jenn ain’t planning on getting one other job…
This crew then brings up the image circulating of Shannon, solo, at a bar with a brief glass. They conclude Shannon went to the bar after spiraling as soon as seeing the latest public photos of Johnny J. and Alexis.
Within the meantime, Emily, Katie, Gina, and Shannon head to the spa. They work with a perfumer (Emily desires taco fragrance) and we be taught that Gina has a brand new canine, as a result of why not attempt to refill the void of Travis transferring out? Gina explains that her reworking their outdated place is a set off for Travis, however for now, leaving individually feels good.
Shannon has to excuse herself when her lawyer calls and we be taught that John did not settle for her provide. Shocker. Certain hope Shannon nonetheless has these crystals in her enamel. She’s gonna want all the assistance she will be able to get with this lawsuit. All of it appears very vindictive and the women surprise how they’ll all go to dinner with Alexis.
This entire weekend is about inclusivity and Heather shares how she invited Katie “within the spirit of inclusion.” Tamra is hell bent that Gina set Katie up with the paparazzi pictures and due to this, Heather continues her strictly cordial relationship with Katie. The identical can’t be stated for Alexis and Shannon’s relationship, or lack thereof. In response to Alexis, even after she requested Johnny to settle with Shannon, he refuses, since she “smeared his title.”
Emily means that Shannon merely pay John what he desires, and messy Gina enters the chat when she agrees, citing the “video factor…” the video factor that everybody promised to not deliver as much as Shannon. Gina looks like she is aware of precisely what she did, however Katie is the one to fill a shocked Shannon in concerning the Ring footage of Shannon virtually operating John’s daughter over. Allegedly.
Shannon tearfully calls John a monster and he or she leaves to go name her lawyer to debate the doable extortion of this video. The timing of all the things is an excessive amount of, contemplating Shannon is hanging by a thread. Later, Shannon thanks Gina and shares that she is simply going to pay John no matter he desires to finish all of it. Whereas speaking to Katie, Emily explains that she feels comfy sufficient to drag Alexis apart and discuss to her about her “path of vengeance” to destroy Shannon.
Submit afternoon excursions, the women prepare for dinner…nicely everybody besides Shannon, who remains to be in her bathrobe. She pays a go to to Heather and regardless of not wanting to place a damper on Heather’s journey, fills her in on what she realized earlier. Shannon shakes when she tells Heather she is aware of concerning the video John has of her and guarantees that she was the one who paid for many issues through the first half of their relationship. Shannon is aware of the reality and is aware of that John is not a very good man.
In response to Shannon, on the night time of her DUI, she hit the planter kitty nook to John’s home and wakened within the hospital. A pal requested her what number of seconds did the accident occur after she backed out of John’s driveway and Shannon remembers it being a brief period of time, which makes you surprise why John didn’t come operating to examine on her. Shannon goes on to inform Heather that she despatched an image of herself to John put up accident and when he lastly texted her again, he ignored the image and performed dumb, questioning the place she was (regardless of the bloodied face she despatched earlier).
