Is it really wise for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to take to the skies again so soon? The dust has barely even settled from what Meredith may have done (probably did) on their last flight, and now they\u2019re taking off yet again \u2014 this time to Greece for, you guessed it, Angie\u2019s cast trip. If Elektra won\u2019t let her talk about the homeland anymore, she simply had to find another way to get her fix.<\/p>\n
But just as I was about to commend the group for successfully traveling without incident, their first dinner post-landing kicks off with Heather teasing Lisa about a new watch, and I feel like I\u2019m missing something. Sure enough, Heather is referencing a blow-up that happened during their layover, and I simply can\u2019t believe that production didn\u2019t learn from their mistakes last time. These women should never, under any circumstances, be left alone together without a camera rolling. \u201cDuring our layover, Lisa and Angie got into it over Angie\u2019s Cartier watch, and Lisa accused Angie of copying her,\u201d Heather explains in her confessional. So, after seeing the Cartier store amongst the duty-free shops, Heather thought it would be funny to not only buy herself one, but to get one for Whitney, too.<\/p>\n
This is what makes Heather a phenomenal Housewife. She\u2019s willing to drop $6,000 for the bit and to get under Lisa\u2019s skin. And while Lisa tries to play it cool, this was just too perfect an opening for her and Angie to relitigate their fight, so sure enough, they start once again taking barbs at each other over who had their respective watch first. It\u2019s one of the most beautiful pissing contests I\u2019ve ever seen, one that never strays too far from being lighthearted and surface-level, but one that they both are still deathly serious about. They even get into who has the most compelling photo proof, with Angie ultimately presenting a 2016 Facebook photo of her wearing the watch. Finally, when Lisa says that she\u2019s not materialistic, but likes sitting in the bathtub online shopping, Meredith jumps in to point out that the bathtub was really her thing first. It\u2019s so rare that we get to see a whole cast like this genuinely laugh together and have a sense of humor over some playful, surface-level bickering. Granted, it doesn\u2019t always go that way, but moments like this make the show work and remind us that despite the fighting, the whole group is able to have fun together.<\/p>\n
The next day, Mary keeps the fun times rolling on the beach, where she takes it upon herself to start commenting on her castmates\u2019 face shapes, deeming Bronwyn and Heather \u201cbucket faces.\u201d But fear not, she assures them that that\u2019s a good thing, saying, \u201cBucket-faced people are really smart because they take a lot of information in.\u201d Perhaps because buckets inherently take things in? Scientists should be studying Mary Cosby\u2019s brain. She goes on to list the other shapes as oblong face, pie face, and square face, the latter of which she says is a sign of someone being a \u201cdingbat.\u201d And with that, production cuts to Britani, who can\u2019t help but catch strays left and right.<\/p>\n
The conversation then turns to Bronwyn\u2019s marriage, but she brushes off their questions, saying that she\u2019s super happy and there\u2019s no drama to report. Heather is confused, given that the last time they heard anything, she and Todd were in a big fight after he was caught sexting another woman on a plane. While Bronwyn was open and honest about that, the women now feel like she\u2019s backpedaling. Once the moment passed, did she regret bringing it up on camera? Maybe so, but you can\u2019t put the toothpaste back in the tube \u2014 especially when it\u2019s televised, as Mary and Meredith both try to explain to her at the table.<\/p>\n
As the women head out on a little shopping spree, a few things happen that need to be addressed. First and foremost, Whitney falls to the ground on the street \u2014 the sign of a good Housewives cast trip \u2014 and needs to be rescued by a hot passerby as she allegedly almost tumbles down a hill. While it didn\u2019t look particularly steep on camera, the women carried on like she was about to fall off a cliff, so I believe them. Angie\u2019s annoyed that Lisa was three hours late and calls her decision to show up in sunglasses \u201codd,\u201d but let\u2019s be real \u2014 Angie, of all people, should cool it with the sunglasses shade. Lastly, as Heather and Meredith\u2019s rift continues to simmer, Mary tries to play peacemaker and encourages Meredith to buy her a necklace as a peace offering.<\/p>\n
But will it work? It takes Mary addressing the elephant in the room at dinner for the two of them to actually acknowledge it, but Meredith isn\u2019t eager to hash this out in a group setting. And she\u2019s right to feel that way. But Heather\u2019s a showgirl, and she\u2019s ready to dive right in, accusing Meredith of assassinating her character and degrading their friendship, all because she took Britani\u2019s side during plane-gate. But, as Heather puts it, Meredith is a stone wall of denial. After airing all of her grievances about Meredith calling her a liar and having selective outrage, Meredith stares across the table at her silently until she finally softly says, \u201cI don\u2019t agree with you.\u201d The power that she wields by calmly disengaging is remarkable.<\/p>\n
But someone willing to engage with Heather is Lisa, who uses this as an opening to talk about how Heather hurt her at Valter\u2019s. She feels that Heather being needlessly mean to her at that lunch was just collateral damage to show the group that she\u2019s not beholden to alliances. Because ultimately, that seems to be a lot of what this season\u2019s subtext is about: who is loyal to whom, and how that loyalty is measured and valued. In this case, it seems that Heather made an example out of Lisa to show that she\u2019s not blindly loyal to people, but that, in turn, genuinely hurt Lisa\u2019s feelings, so much so that she breaks down in tears, bringing it up.<\/p>\n
While Heather quickly admits fault and apologizes, I\u2019m distracted by Whitney\u2019s reaction, who is crying, her hands covering her mouth in shock. After watching this all play out, she finally chimes in to say that all of this drama really comes back to one thing: what Meredith did on the plane. ENOUGH! She can\u2019t keep rehashing this plane saga, especially considering that it simply isn\u2019t her battle to fight. Britani and Meredith already made up and have moved on, as Meredith points out, and she adds that everybody at the table has probably done much worse. With that, she storms out, and Lisa follows. See? An alliance! Whitney points out as much, though not quite as articulately, by making a scissoring gesture with her hands.<\/p>\n
