\n After all the relitigation and denial about what happened on the plane, the wives\u2019 ability to resolve this conflict is unprecedented.

Did Mary\u2019s church service help to heal (or \u201chill\u201d if you\u2019re Whitney) our fractured group? Of course not, but one can dream! Maybe they\u2019ll have better luck at the post-service Sunday Social that Mary is hosting for them all at our favorite Salt Lake jaunt: Valter\u2019s. \u201cOh, your guests are here,\u201d Angie tells Mary when Meredith and Lisa walk in, so then again, maybe not. But at least Mary is gifting them all beta fish as party favors!<\/p>\n
The only person missing from the lunch is Britani, whom Mary called ahead of time to explain that she was snubbing her because she called her ungodly. Britani ultimately apologized, and while it didn\u2019t earn her an invite, it did inspire Mary to think that there might be hope for this group yet.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s get into it. We\u2019ve heard what all the other women say happened, but Meredith maintains that they\u2019re blowing it out of proportion \u2014 so where do we go from here? When Meredith says she couldn\u2019t have tormented Britani the whole flight because she watched two movies, the women begin investigating.\u00a0What movies? \u201cCrazy Rich Asians, and one other movie I don\u2019t recall the name of,\u201d she says. Rough start.\u00a0And what happened at the end of Crazy Rich Asians? Genius question. \u201cI don\u2019t remember,\u201d she says. Meredith, you shouldn\u2019t be answering any more of these questions without a lawyer present! \u201cCrazy Rich Asians has a big ending. It\u2019s a big moment, you\u2019ll remember,\u201d Heather says. This is one of the funniest gotcha moments I\u2019ve ever seen on Housewives. Since Lisa watched it too, they ask her if she remembers how it ends, and without hesitation (but with a spoiler alert warning from Bravo), Lisa rattles off the movie\u2019s ending. \u201cI obviously fell asleep before the end because I didn\u2019t see that part,\u201d Meredith chimes in, trying to cover her ass.<\/p>\n
Since Lisa continues to downplay the situation, they tell her that she clearly realized how big a scene it was, and that\u2019s why she didn\u2019t go through customs with them. But Lisa says that was just because she didn\u2019t realize she had Global Entry. Alright, if we\u2019re investigating whether Lisa Barlow has Global Entry to get to the bottom of this mystery, I fear we\u2019re too far gone.<\/p>\n
Meredith then directs her ire to Whitney (as she is wont to do), after hearing that she was gossiping about this incident behind her back (as Whitney is wont to do). Specifically, Whitney told Bronwyn that she was drinking before the flight and wondered whether she blacked out. She proposed three explanations for the incident: \u201cshe has hatred in her heart, an anger problem, or a problem mixing substances.\u201d She\u2019s like if Hercule Poirot were a Real Housewife.<\/p>\n
The lunch leaves them with little resolution, and leaves Meredith ally-less, apart from Lisa, whom she meets up with for manicures in spa chairs that I\u2019m convinced get bigger each time we cut back to them. They debrief the lunch, with Meredith expressing her frustration with Heather and Whitney, especially, before Lisa tells her that she met up with Britani to hear her side of things. We flashback to that sit-down, where we hear Britani say, \u201cIt was literally, like, the sixth worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life.\u201d It\u2019s a sentence that stopped me dead in my tracks. The level of specificity instantly grips me. What were the other five things? And does she have a notes app ranking them? All in all, Meredith basically says she pities Britani and thus is fine to move forward from all of this.<\/p>\n
Then, in a jump cut for the ages, we find ourselves in a U-Haul that Whitney is driving to Heather\u2019s house, where she finds her buzzin\u2019 cousin dressed for a funeral. Specifically, the funeral for her marital mattress, which Whitney is helping her haul away. While she assures us that the stains aren\u2019t from sex, I\u2019m more disturbed by her confession that she\u2019s had the mattress for 20 years. That seems like much too long. She talks about Meredith being mad at her, and Whitney talks about being angry at Bronwyn for ratting, but all I can think about is that geriatric mattress.<\/p>\n
While Britani is still recovering from the plane ride (and I suspect will be for seasons to come), she says it helped her focus on what\u2019s truly important: healing her relationship with her daughter, Olivia. And now, thankfully, they\u2019re getting professional help and are deciding to give a family therapist a real run for her money. It\u2019s mostly a rehash of what we already know, but Olivia says she feels better hearing her mother take accountability, and Britani is happy to finally get the chance to make things right, so this situation seems to be looking up.<\/p>\n
Speaking of mothers and daughters, Bronwyn, Gwen, and Muzzy (and their bobs) spend the afternoon trimming Bonsai trees. Both Gwen and Muzzy say that they\u2019re getting ready to spread their wings and move out, which sends Bronwyn \u2014 who has never really lived alone in her entire life \u2014 spiraling. You might be thinking, well, doesn\u2019t she still have Todd? But perhaps that\u2019s the problem. Without her whole family under that roof with her, she\u2019s left taking a cold, hard look at her marriage, and she might not like what she sees. After all, if she\u2019s mourning her emotionally abusive mother of all people moving out, then you know things must be rough.<\/p>\n
The episode concludes with a meeting so shocking that I wondered if perhaps I was the one who blacked out after combining substances. Meredith and Britani reunite \u2014 on the ground this time \u2014 at a park, as if producers were afraid they\u2019d destroy a home or place of business. Meredith kicks things off by apologizing to Britani for being overheard talking to Lisa on the plane, saying it was the wrong place and time and that she didn\u2019t intend to hurt her feelings. This feels almost too good to be true, as if a Bravo HR representative is standing just off camera, holding up cue cards.<\/p>\n
While Britani says she still feels traumatized, she\u2019s choosing forgiveness. And for her part, she apologizes for bringing up the TikTok in the first place, admitting that it was a shady move meant to hurt her. I almost can\u2019t believe what I\u2019m watching. After all this hubbub sent shockwaves throughout the group, the two of them can sit down and communicate in the name of civility. This kind of resiliency and ability to move forward is what makes this show so successful. As I watch them sit across from one another, I\u2019m reminded of a song made famous by Britani Bateman singing<\/a> it on TikTok\u2026<\/p>\n And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I\u2019ve done you blame me for\u2026 VULTURE NEWSLETTER<\/p>\n Keep up with all the drama of your favorite shows!<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
But then, I guess we know there\u2019s blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
