Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 18, “Reunion Part 1.” Last week, the women of the OC made sure to celebrate Jenn on her surprise yet not-so-surprise engagement to Ryan. In between the festivities, Heather tried to talk to Kate, but to no avail. Shannon shunned Katie’s husband, Matt, when she mistook his kindness for aggression.
What happened on Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 18?
The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion came in hot. Whether it was due to their metallic-themed gowns or just having the Midas touch this season, the ladies all wanted to be heard. Shannon and Tamra tried (yelled) to hash out their season-long conflict. Each shared their own version of events. But neither was heard in the heat of the battle. Heather once again tries to confront Katie, and Jenn is finally placed in the hot seat.
Tamra didn’t yell once on the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion (so far)
After the formalities were out of the way, Shannon and Tamra wasted no time in butting heads. The Real for Real owner explained that the pair could never form a true friendship after Tamra came back into the fold. Even though I think Tamra was trying to extend an olive branch, all Shannon could muster up to say was, “A lot of open wounds here,” as she pointed to herself. But that was the theme of Season 18, wasn’t it? Both have not spoken since the finale. Shannon shared she “doesn’t use alcohol to cope.” But Tammy Sue disagreed, noting she still felt her former friend had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
I must admit that Tamra sat on the couch as cool as a cucumber as Shannon tried to call out her bad behavior. Shannon’s monologue was great: “I went to a place for 30 days. And you had the audacity at Gina’s dinner to say ‘Lies. Lies. Lies.’” But Tamra came with the tea and noted, “Because you called me drunk several times after that. That’s why. One time, you called me drunk and went off like a crazy woman on me. Then you called me back ten minutes later and had the same conversation with me.”
Oh, if Shannon’s voice isn’t a meme in the morning, we’ve done something wrong. By the first commercial break, the two were in a stalemate, with Tamra doubling down that Shannon had drank during her time in treatment.
Katie and Heather’s fighting was just par for the course
While I was hoping to get a bit more information on Katie’s upcoming Korea trip, instead, viewers had to listen to three different renditions of how Heather snubbed the newbie at Sutton’s party. Mostly everyone agreed that the incident never happened because Heather would have been an idiot to do that, and she isn’t “a moron.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen Heather so passionate about something.
She bluntly told Katie, “It was weird. I was very interested in meeting you. Nothing about you adds up. I think there is a story for everything. And I think you have absolutely no credibility.” Katie didn’t stand a chance as she faltered on her comebacks. Heather quickly quipped, “By the way, falsely accusing people is kind of your thing,” hinting at a lawsuit filed by Sidnei Silva accusing her of reporting a fake crime.
Jenn had to answer the hard questions at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion
Sadly, Jenn still very much looked like a deer in the headlights as Andy tried to softball her questions about Ryan. For the yogi, that “day was hard. And I felt like Ryan went one way, and I went another way.” But not once did she think of ending her engagement. I mean, where would she live? Jenn’s version of events was confusing as she shared the FBI talking to Ryan happened seven months before the party. Jennifer revealed Ryan had two Zoom calls with the bureau.
Jenn didn’t appreciate how Tamra insinuated Ryan was the one in trouble. Thank God for Emily, who at least dumbs it down for viewers and Jenn. The lawyer insinuated that Ryan was involved after Jenn said he was innocent. Em stated, “That’s not true. I’m telling you everything I’ve read, he is involved. And for order to him to have immunity, he testifies.” When Andy asked how Ryan would have been given immunity, Emily said, “I think he is giving them information about Matt so they can prosecute.”
Jenn questioned Emily’s research, saying, “I don’t know where everyone gets that.” But Emily was done with the charade and clapped back, “Before I’m an attorney, and that’s how it works.: Naturally, Emily got the last word, telling Jenn, “You always do this Tammy Wynette Stand by Your Man thing. And sometimes, you just need to be accountable. ”
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
