On the other hand, Quad Webb joined the ladies a little later in the season due to contract negotiations. And based on her recent cryptic language about her status on the show, she won’t be around much longer. After a social media user told Quad the series wasn’t the same without her, the reality star said her time this season is nearing an end.
“Well, you all will be able to enjoy me for [two] more episodes only this season. Sad, but oh so true,” Quad wrote. Many users assumed Quad’s statement meant the rest of the cast forced her out of the group (Mariah Huq style) — and from Heavenly’s latest post, it sounds like it.
Heavenly feels terrible for how she treated Quad
I just watched episode 7…. I feel soo bad. It was horrible. Damn. I want to cry ? I’m soo sorry @AbsolutelyQuad This was too much, you did not deserve this! #married2med
After the latest episode (Sunday, December 10) aired, Heavenly joined Carlos King on YouTube to talk about what went down. The esteemed producer critiqued how the cast treated Quad on this trip, from the constant attacks to Phaedra’s changed flight. However, despite his judgment, Heavenly defended her behavior.
Now, she’s singing a different tune.
“I just watched episode 7…. I feel soo bad,” Heavenly tweeted. “It was horrible. Damn. I want to cry. I’m soo sorry [Quad]. This was too much; you did not deserve this!”
It’s no secret that Quad has had her ups and downs with the rest of the group. So, it’s understandable why some of the ladies felt she didn’t have a place in their social circle any longer. But could they have taken it too far? We’ll have to find out in the next episode.
Married to Medicine continues Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Season 3 of Winter House is winding down, but somehow, there’s still a little bit of steam left in this boat. Last week, we got an unnecessary cameo from Captain Sandy Yawn. Then, Danielle killed whatever was left of the good vibes by whining about her situation with Alex and taking her aggression out on everyone else. Now, we’re moving into the Winter House Season 3, Episode 8 recap.
This week, Tom returned, and the gang also welcomed Kory’s soon-to-be girlfriend Sam for a visit. She came to Colorado with a little bit of attitude and a whole lot of insecurities, shaking things up for Season 3’s penultimate episode. Let’s tackle all of the juicy details of Winter House Season 3, Episode 8 “Coming in Hot.”
Down in the dumps with Danielle

Unfortunately, Episode 8 brought us right back into the Danielle drama, as she fully spiraled over her situation with Alex. Fueled by frustration, Danielle started terrorizing everyone in the house with her weird attitude.
The group planned a glow party, and Danielle complained. They ordered Chinese takeout. Danielle complained. Everyone knew why she was grumpy. It had everything to do with Alex, so Malia tried to get her to snap out of it. But, there was no salvaging Danielle’s mood. Luckily, she eventually had the wherewithal to just remove herself from the party and go to bed. You know they were all relieved.
The next day, Danielle woke up fresh as a daisy. It was as if nothing ever happened, and she even did a deep clean of the kitchen. A full 180, and by the end of the day, she did another one.
She pulled Alex aside to talk about the status of their relationship, and she reiterated how she just wanted it to be a fun vacation fling. Of course. she says that but then runs around being emotional and territorial over Alex. He finally called out her hypocrisy and suggested that they just “focus on the friendship” and take away the benefits.
Danielle didn’t like that, but sheesh. She needed to hear it. No one could endure another minute of her Alex-induced mood swings.
Welcome home, Tom Schwartz
(Photo by: Rodolfo Martinez/Bravo)
After only missing one episode, Tom made his triumphant return to Winter House! He survived the Season 10 Vanderpump Rules reunion and ventured back to Colorado to finish out the vacation. When Tom left the house, it definitely seemed like he was going to be gone for much longer than just one episode, but alas, our boy is back.
The whole house seemed excited to have Tom coming back into the fold. Katie wanted her crush back. Alex was stoked to have his pillow talk therapist back beside him. Tom was just grateful to be away from VPR.
“There’s no doubt about it this is escapism for me,” Tom said of his Winter House return. “I’m savoring every moment that I don’t have to be back in Los Angeles, where it’s very scary.”
When Tom came back to the house, all eyes were on him and Katie. Would they leap into each other’s arms like two war-torn lovers? Not at all.
Unfortunately for Katie, the emotional connection she had with Schwartz seemed to have reset while he was away. Yes, he called her by her first name in this episode, but where’s their spark? It seems like maybe his absence helped them both realize that this was a showmance and not a romance. However, there’s still time for one more hookup, so we’re not ruling them out just yet.
Kory invited his sort-of girlfriend to come visit the Winter House, and while that’s cute and all, it caused some super awkward feelings amongst the roommates as they awaited her arrival. Sam’s visit became less about Kory and more about everyone else.
Jordan felt weird because she was trying to get with Kory earlier in the vacation. Casey felt uneasy because she straight-up called Sam trash. Then, the cast learned about a blind item floating around on the internet that suggested Malia and Kory had been flirting. Awkward!
Kory tried to get ahead of some of the drama before Sam got there. He told Casey that he didn’t tell Sam about her trash-talking. Kory said he wasn’t going to tell her until after filming wrapped. What a gentleman, right?
Sam arrived pretty early in the episode, and everyone welcomed her with open arms. However, Casey’s arms were almost too open. The two of them were instantly buddy-buddy, and it felt painfully fake. Jordan thought so too. She theorized that Kory did tell Sam about Casey’s trash-talking and that they were both just overcompensating.
Regardless of whether they were being fake or not, Casey was able to steer clear of any drama with Sam. Malia on the other hand? That’s a different story.
Sam was in the Winter House for maybe 10 minutes before Malia and Kory’s friendship became a problem. The blind item floating around about their flirty relationship didn’t help things. Neither did Kory’s chat with Sam where he told her at the beginning of the vacation, all of the girls were flirting with him. He wanted a pat on the back for not betraying Sam, but instead, he just made Sam even more insecure than she already was.
All season, Malia and Kory have been acting like two playful little siblings, and Sam’s presence didn’t change that. They wrestle, they tackle each other, they baby-bird shots of liquor into each other’s mouths — they’re like a big brother and a little sister. At one point in this episode, Kory and Malia wrestled each other in the snow right in front of Sam. She got pissed.
Sam went to Danielle and Amanda and complained about Malia being “desperate” for Kory. They tried to explain to Sam that Malia has “little sister energy.” Sam wasn’t buying it.
Behind the scenes, Jordan didn’t buy it either. In her confessional, she hilariously quipped, “It’s giving brother and sister in this universe but somewhere out there in the matrix is a different story.”
Danielle tried to help Sam by giving Malia a heads-up that there was some animosity growing. She suggested that Malia dial back her friendship with Kory, but let’s be real, Danielle is the last person anyone should take advice from in this house.
A roast to remember
(Photo by: Rodolfo Martinez/Bravo)
That evening, the group organized a roast. There’s no better way to bond with your roommates than roasting them. It’s truly a love language.
Casey made some type of mystery meat to go with the roast, and they all gathered around and cracked jokes at each other’s expense. They read for being friend-zoned by all the girls. They dragged Kory for being a player. Then, of course, Danielle had to make things weird by trying to roast Alex for no longer wanting to sleep with her. Too much.
Malia got the roast extra spicy by making a dig at Sam. With a wink, she said, “Sam welcome to the house, I know it’s been a lot to tackle.”
Sam didn’t laugh and took it way too seriously. So once all of the jokes were done, she and Malia stepped aside to talk about the Kory situation. It quickly devolved into an argument as Sam tried to accuse Malia of being disrespectful to her “relationship” with Kory.
It’s not every day that anyone’s rooting for Malia in an argument, but she got Sam together. Sam tried to argue that Malia should be more respectful of her eight-month situationship with Kory, and Malia had to gently remind her that Kory came into the house, loudly proclaiming to not be in a relationship. That’s not Malia’s fault.
Once again, we’re witnessing the dangers of an undefined relationship. Whether it’s Schwartz and Katie’s weird showmance, Alex and Danielle’s “friendship,” and now, Sam and Kory’s situation, having unclear boundaries doesn’t seem to be going well for this group. Maybe they should all take a page from Jordan’s book and focus on celibacy for a bit.
Either way, the episode ended mid-argument with Malia and Sam. We’ll have to tune into next week’s season finale to see how that conversation unfolds.
Season 3 of Winter House concludes next Tuesday at 9/8c on Bravo.
TELL US – WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WINTER HOUSE SEASON 3, EPISODE 8, “COMING IN HOT?” DO YOU THINK ALEX HANDLED THE DANIELLE SITUATION IN THE RIGHT WAY? SHOULD MALIA STOP BEING SO TOUCHY WITH KORY WHEN SAM IS AROUND?
Fans might not be loving Tom Schwartz on Winter House, but he certainly loved his time there. In Season 3, Episode 6, Tom shared with the cameras how “therapeutic” it was to be developing a Housemance with Katie Flood.
Granted, Tom also expressed one reservation – the fact that Flood shares a first name with his ex, Katie Maloney. As Vanderpump Rules fans know, Katie is Ariana Madix’s BFF, so it was only a matter of time before Ariana commented on the matter.
Given the current state of Ariana and Tom’s friendship, her response wasn’t all that surprising. Still, that hasn’t stopped Tom from attempting to craft a five-year plan to win back her favor. But for now, Tom’s not looking too good.
Ariana on Schwartz and Flood: “Why does he care now?”
On the December 10 episode of Watch What Happens Live, a fan wrote in asking Ariana her opinion on Schwartz’s romance with Katie on Winter House. Specifically, the question asked her opinion on Schwartz reportedly being hung up on her name “I mean, why does he care now?” she said. “Like that’s where he draws the line, is the name.”
After the question, Ariana and Andy Cohen discussed the extent of her relationship with Tom Schwartz in the present. “We don’t have a friendship,” Ariana said plainly. When asked if she missed him, Ariana admitted she did not. However, despite the strained relationship between the two, Ariana said they had been “cordial” with one another.
That was in line with Tom’s previous comments regarding his friendship with Ariana. “I’m always cordial with her and I’m always excited to see her,” he told PEOPLE. “She’ll give me a nod and say hi, but I think our friendship [is] going to take some work.” As of right now, it would seem a friendship with Schwartz is nowhere in Ariana’s five-year plan.
Winter House continues Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo, while Vanderpump Rules returns to Bravo on January 30, 2024, at 8/7c.

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4, Episode 14 recap. In this week’s episode, “Bermuda Birthday Blues,” it’s Monica’s birthday and Heather crowns her “Queen for a Day.” But an unexpected change of plans turns into a heartbreaking disappointment. Gossip is making the rounds that Angie’s a member of the Greek Mafia, but could the source be someone they know? All Hell breaks loose at Monica’s birthday dinner, as Angie confronts Meredith. Here are the highlights of RHOSLC Season 4, Episode 14.
All hail Queen Monica

Over a traditional Bermudan breakfast, Heather crowns Monica “Queen for a Day.” She presents her with “a special crown, a scepter, and a queen’s robe.” Monica’s really touched, especially since she’s in such a tough place right now with her mom.
Monica’s so excited to be in Bermuda. Her extended family is from there and later today, she’s going to get to spend some time with them. She’s very excited about seeing her family members she hasn’t seen in 30 years.
A couple of weeks ago, Monica was supposed to go to therapy with her mom – at Linda’s request. Monica didn’t even want to go but told her mom she’d be there. She was willing to try. But Linda never showed up. That’s pretty f*cked up. It was Linda’s idea for them to go together in the first place, and she just blew it off. That’s just sad.
But Monica has heard from her Bermudan family that Linda’s been saying she wants to “show up and surprise Monica for her birthday.” She can fly to Bermuda for her daughter’s birthday, but she can’t make a therapy appointment? Linda wants to be seen as a caring mom, but she won’t “do the work.”
Is Angie in the Greek Mafia?

After breakfast, Monica calls Lisa up to her balcony for a chat. She’s nervous about meeting her family after so many years. She doesn’t want to go by herself and asks Lisa if she’ll come with her. Lisa’s flattered and touched that Monica would ask her and says, of course, she’ll come. She’d love to meet Monica’s family.
But then Monica brings up her talk with Meredith the night before. Meredith suspects that Angie’s in the “Greek Mafia.”
Lisa says, “Oh, my God, are you crazy? That is nuts!”
Monica tells her about the DMs she’s been getting on her Instagram about Angie, including legal documents pertaining to tax liens and bankruptcies. She also says that Meredith said she was getting the same ones.
Lisa doesn’t believe it for a minute. She thinks Meredith’s just trying to damage Angie’s reputation. It’s the same thing she did last year with Lisa’s SEC filing. Lisa thinks Meredith’s using Monica to do her dirty work.
A crushing disappointment

First on the birthday agenda: jet skis! They fly across the water, over the top of sunken wrecks. They feed bread to the fish. Frozen veggies are much better for feeding fish. Frozen peas are the best.
Afterward, everyone returns to the van. As they find their seats, Monica looks at her phone. Suddenly she jumps off the van and bursts into tears. Lisa follows her.
“Wait, what just happened?” Meredith wants to know.
Crying hysterically, Monica tells Lisa, “My mom just made my family not meet me.”
“Why?!” Lisa asks. “Oh, my God, I’m so sorry … Why would she do this to you?” Monica’s crying made me teary. I’m a sympathetic crier.
Sobbing, Monica says, “I can’t breathe.” She got a text that her Bermudan family no longer wanted to see her.
“I can’t help but think that my mom was somehow involved,” Monica confesses. “I know that she wanted to be here, and I know that she’s upset that she’s not.”
As self-absorbed as Lisa usually seems, she’s very sweet with Monica. To calm her down, Lisa keeps repeating, “You’re fine, you’re fine.”
In voiceover, Monica adds, “I was so excited to see my family … and hear stories about my grandma. I feel like if my mom can hurt me, she will … I feel so alone.”
Once Monica’s composed herself, they return to the Sprinter van. I feel so sad for Monica. I can’t imagine having a mother who would cause her child so much pain.
When they get back, everyone wants to know what happened, but Monica can’t even speak about it without crying again. So Lisa explains what happened. Seriously, you guys, I’m crying for Monica right now.
Birthday beach time

At the beach, there are six chairs set up and lunch is ready. They have champagne and Bermudan fish sandwiches.
Lisa and Angie go for a walk down the beach. Lisa tells the salon owner that Meredith thinks she’s in the Greek Mafia. She repeats all the information Monica gave her this morning.
Angie is stunned speechless. If I were in her shoes, that would not be my reaction at all. I would seriously fall down laughing. She calls Meredith a “Phoney F*cking Baloney Fraud.”
“Come on, my little gangster,” Lisa says, as they stroll back to the group.
Monica’s pirate-themed birthday dinner

For Monica’s birthday dinner, everyone dresses up as a pirate. Except for prissy Lisa who won’t wear a costume unless it’s Chanel or Versace. The restaurant is in an actual cave with stalactites and stalagmites! It’s amazing!
Once the cocktails are ordered, Monica wants to know when was the last time everybody had sex. She thinks she’s being open about sex, but a lot of us prefer to keep our private life private.
Heather agrees with me on this subject and refuses to talk about it. When Monica presses her, Heather pulls the STFU card. Sometimes that card comes in handy.
“We should not play games anymore,” Whitney wisely observes.
But before the appetizers even arrive, Angie confronts Meredith about accusing her of being in the Greek Mafia. Meredith claims she never said that. Oh, yes, she did! That’s exactly what she told Monica, and we all saw it on TV.
Of course, a fight ensues and I’m not even going to recap it ’cause it’s just like every other fight. They never settle anything. Can these women never just go somewhere and have a nice time?
“Meredith just doesn’t get that we’re onto [her],” Lisa comments. “It doesn’t take Inspector Gadget to figure out what you’re doing. She doesn’t have superpowers, she can’t just make this go away. You’re guilty.”
“Meredith has a very sophisticated game of pot-stirring,” Heather says. I blame it on too much time in the bathtub. I’m just glad these pirates didn’t have swords.

Since her separation from her husband Marc Daly in 2019, Kenya Moore has been stuck in divorce hell. Given the treatment she received from Marc on episodes of Real Housewives of Atlanta, it’s no wonder she wanted out.
But Marc certainly wasn’t about to make it easy for Kenya. Making matters more complicated, the former couple share a five-year-old daughter. So add the battle over custody to this whole mess.
Back in November, Kenya assured fans her divorce would be over by 2024 and she’s now further hinting that will be the case.
Kenya took to her Instagram Stories to give an optimistic update to her fans. Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours, but we captured the details. Kenya wrote, “Good morning team twirl. Today is an important day for me as I wish to close one chapter in my life as I open another.”
She concluded with a request, “Please pray for closure for my family and a positive outcome. With love and hope. Kenya.”
After eloping in 2017 off-camera, the mismatched couple quickly went south. Kenya filed for divorce from Marc in 2021 and it’s been an uphill battle for her ever since. Marc (unsuccessfully) tried to bar Kenya from showing their daughter on RHOA.
While fighting over custody, Kenya accused Marc of being absent, saying he had only seen their daughter twice in two years. Things continued to NOT go Marc’s way when his divorce lawyer allegedly dumped him and he had to scramble to find a new one.
Despite the acrimonious nature of their split, Kenya has done her best to remain positive about the situation. Kenya shared in 2021, “What’s liberating is to be able to live through it and come out better for it. I’m excited for this new chapter and this new life.”

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Kathy Hilton’s not ‘mad’ about being a grandma. Daughter Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum welcomed baby Phoenix Barron in January 2023 via surrogate. When they finally shared the happy news with her family eight days later, Kathy couldn’t have been more thrilled.
“I was so excited and so in shock,” she says now. “In a perfect world, would I have loved to have been part of the journey? Yes. But she said, ‘Mommy, if you are at the hospital, people are going to recognize you.’”
“When you are having a surrogate, you have to be thoughtful of their privacy as well,” Kathy told PEOPLE. “So I totally get it. I totally understand. Paris is a grown woman, and I’ve said this, this is she and Carter. This is their decision.”
Once Phoenix was here, Paris and Carter started making plans for baby number two. They not only wanted their baby boy to have a sibling, they wanted him to have a baby sister. Their family wouldn’t be complete until they had a little prince AND a princess.
On Thanksgiving, the couple surprised their family again. After Carter gathered everyone in the living room, Paris walked in “carrying a pink blanket with [London], and everybody is sitting there like, ‘What?!'”
After keeping Phoenix’s birth a secret from even her mother, Paris explained. “I just feel like my life has been so public,” she told Kathy. “I just didn’t want to have the media and people talking about my son before he was born. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, but this is my baby.”
But Kathy was too excited and happy to be upset. “I’m just … blessed that I have a beautiful grandson and a beautiful granddaughter,” Kathy said. “I would’ve loved to have been a part of all that, but you know what? It’s none of my damn business. I’ve got to just stay in my lane.”
Paris in Love is available to stream on Peacock.

Big sisters can be very protective of their younger siblings. I know, I had two of them. Think Mama Bear.
When a fan made a mean-spirited comment about Kim Richards’ looks, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton came to her younger sister’s defense. The photo in question was a group snapshot taken at Kathy’s Annual Holiday Pajama Party.
“Lord. Kim looks … yikes,” wrote the troll. Kathy wasted no time snapping back at the commenter. “Very mean,” she shot back. “Praying for you.”
Kim had her own diamond for the first five seasons of RHOBH. In fact, she and her other sister, Kyle Richards, were the main reason I started watching the show. I remember them as child actors and wanted to see what their lives were like now. Though she left the show following Season 5, Kim’s returned in a guest role several times since, including the current Season 13.
We all know Kim hasn’t had the easiest life. It couldn’t have been easy being a working child in the grown-up world of Hollywood. It’s well known that she’s struggled with addiction issues for most of her life. But her fans adore her and feel protective of her. That’s why when the commenter attacked the way she looked, they rushed to defend her.
“Leave Kim alone she has gone through lots in her life,” one wrote.
“I am saddened by all the people attacking a woman’s looks,” added another.
“Love Kim’s energy! Great picture,” chimed a third.
One fan simply posted, “We Love You Kim,” with two red heart emojis.
Sadly, Kim’s looks get a lot of attention. She’s not active on social media, so whenever a photo appears, fans go nuts. They love to analyze her looks and sometimes comment that she’s “unrecognizable.” Well, it’s been a long time since Escape from Witch Mountain. We all change over time.
Unfortunately, Kim isn’t the cute child star she was half a century ago. But we all get older and being famous doesn’t make you immune. Plus her body has taken a toll from her disease over the years. Honestly, I think she just wasn’t wearing a lot of makeup like the other women were.
Content to appear as an occasional guest on RHOBH, Kim has no plans or desire to return as a regular. “For me, I will never say never but most likely not,” she recently told E! News. “I would rather do something with [my sisters] away from that kind of negativity.”
“It’s awful,” she continued. “Where do you find people that go to a party and throw a drink at your face? Or they try to choke you?” I’m looking at you, Lisa Rinna.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

After a week away, we’re back for our Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8, Episode 12 recap! Did you miss us ranting about the crew’s bad decisions? In this week’s episode, called “Sink or Swim,” one charter guest goes way too far. It’s a shame the crew didn’t choose to throw him overboard. Elsewhere, new stew Lily isn’t proving to be much of an asset to the interior team, while Luka is battling against Captain Sandy’s micromanagement of his deck team. Here’s everything that went down in Below Deck Med Season 8, Episode 12.
Butterfly Man Luka gets some advice
Photo by: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo
We pick things up right where we left off; with Luka getting scolded by Captain Sandy. She’s not happy that the deck team were all on a break while he was off the boat. It meant that interior were left calling for an extra set of hands, to no avail. Luka tries to make the point that breaks are necessary to ensure his team is on the ball, but it falls on deaf ears. When he and Lara later realize that two of the interior were down in the cabins, that infuriates them even further.
Fortunately, Captain Sandy does apologize later in the episode. She makes it clear to Tumi that when interior are working meals for the guests, only one person should be down in the cabins. Lily might be green, but she should be able to turn over a room. Even if that means taking notes down on an iPad, rather than the trusty pen and paper that her chief stew would prefer she use.
The crew gains a new member in the form of Major Douche

If Amish the charter guests wants to call Tumi out of her name, then we shall rebrand him as Major Douche. Despite the primary guest – and everybody else – heading to bed, Major Douche decides he wants more to drink. He also fancies a dip in the hot tub. Due to his copious alcohol intake that night, however, he finds himself in the crew mess. Then, he wanders over to the crew cabins, before letting himself in to both Haleigh and Jack’s rooms. This is a major safety issue.
Luka quickly tells him to get out, warning him that people are trying to sleep. When he’s sent back up to deck, it’s up to Kyle and Lara to ensure that he’s okay. Spoiler alert: Major Douche is NOT OKAY. He slips down one of the steps from the top deck, smashing his drink’s glass on the floor. Major Douche is lucky he doesn’t have any glass in his foot. Lara and Kyle rush to his aid, before sending him to bed for good.
Kyle knows Sandy will want to know exactly what’s gone down, so he wakes her up to give her a rundown. The next day, she tells her primary guest that he needs to get his friend under control, or he’ll be off the boat. Major Douche doesn’t step a bloodied toe out of line for the rest of the charter – at least from what we see.
The spirit of Natalya looms

We know Natalya is set to make a brief comeback to the show on a night out, but her presence is still felt even before then. She’s been texting Luka about how much she’d love some “cuddles,” and he’s flirting right back. He tells her he misses her, and while Jack has been doing the same, we know Luka isn’t doing it just as a friend, but someone who would totally bang Natalya if she didn’t come with the baggage of a controlling boyfriend.
The only problem? Luka is now enjoying regular nights of hot, steamy passion with Jessika. They even sleep together in this episode, judging by the noises made, and the sight of Luka’s peach entering the cabin bathroom after the fact. Things are going to get very interesting when Natalya returns; especially considering her lack of love for Jess. But, as we know, Jess and Max will also be swapping spit. It’s so incestuous this year!
Jack and Kyle clear the air
Photo by: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo
On their night out, Jack and Kyle engage in a short back-and-forth. While Jack’s banter doesn’t land, the pair do manage to get on the right track. Kyle has been having a really emotional time on the boat, and it doesn’t seem to be a healthy place for him. So, I was shocked by the maturity he showed when he actually spoke to Jack, asking him if they were “cool.”
Jack said he didn’t respond well to Kyle’s warning of Lily about Natalya’s influence. He said he had been “passive aggressive,” and the two promised to get along moving forward. “Now I can drink with joy and not drink to forget, Kyle said in confessional. We’ll see how long this ceasefire lasts…
Can Lily do her job?
Photo by: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo
It’s clear across the length of charter two that Lily is struggling. To be fair, there hasn’t been much in the way of training. But she also seems to be unable to cope with even the little stuff she’s been shown. Tumi’s growing tired of it, and so are the rest of the crew.
The episode ends with Captain Sandy asking Lily how she’s finding the job. She then issues a veiled threat; if Lily doesn’t step up on this third charter, she’ll probably have to let her go.
