Terry Dubrow is about to get his big ole nose fixed because Heather Dubrow can’t take his snoring anymore. As he’s getting preliminary bloodwork done before his surgery, they talk about the get-together at Jennifer Pedranti’s boyfriend’s house. Heather says they were all having a good time until people started fighting and crying. Sounds like a typical “Real Housewives” party.
Heather tells Terry that she wants to talk to Gina Kirschenheiter about Katie Ginella and the paparazzi gate. However, she doesn’t know how to go about it because just when she thinks they’ve resolved their issues, something new comes up, such as Gina supposedly using her for her real estate connections.
“I don’t know what I need,” Heather says. Terry answers, “You have a process that you need to go through when you’ve had a challenge with somebody. You need to hash it out once, twice, three times.” Ms. Fancypants gets her knickers in a bunch and says, “That is such an overstatement.”
Terry insists that she likes to talk about things “ad nauseum.” She’s had it with his insubordination and complains, “You’re just being mean right now.” She starts checking her phone and Terry doesn’t like being dismissed so he wants to get the hell out of there.
“You guys are done with the blood,” the nurse says. They’ve been bickering while she was there the whole time.
In the hallway, the cameras pick up Heather whispering to Terry, “Don’t do that. Don’t admonish me on camera. I don’t like that.” He tells her not to talk over him then. Mommy and Daddy are sleeping in separate rooms tonight.
The lawsuit is official
Shannon Storms Beador is in her empty house with Archie talking on the phone with her daughter Adeline. She tells her that she offered to pay her ex John Janssen the $75,000 he’s suing her for but he won’t sign the non-disclosure agreement. “That’s gross,” Adeline says.
Shannon tells the cameras, “I feel as though I’ve hit rock bottom. But it seems like John wants to get me down there further and I don’t think I can go any lower.”
Later, Tamra Judge reads about the lawsuit online so it’s officially out there in the press. She tries calling Shannon but it goes straight to voicemail. Shannon then butt-dials her and Tamra eavesdrops/listens to her crying to someone else hysterically about the lawsuit. Tamra thinks this is going to bring Shannon over the edge. This is no bueno and John Janssen can go rot in hell.
Gina Kirschenheiter’s relationship problems continue
Gina’s making meatbawls and her ex Matthew Kirschenheiter shows up with his fiancé Britt Birdy. Gina asks about their upcoming wedding and Britt says that they’re going to have a commitment ceremony soon. Gina loves that they’re moving forward because she thinks her kids will feel more secure with one set of parents who are married, especially since her boyfriend Travis Mullen has moved out.
“I could never even imagine a better stepmom for my children. But it’s tough to see that Matt is moving forward with his relationship and then mine is like, sliding backwards,” Gina says in a confessional. While she’s happy for her ex and Britt, she wants the same thing.
Gina tells Matt and Britt that she had to create some distance between herself and Travis because of his ex-wife. According to her, the ex is making it extremely difficult for Travis to co-parent with her. “It’s getting worse,” she reveals.
“Travis is dealing with things that are outside of his control but affect him so deeply that it affects the entire dynamic of our family,” Gina tells the cameras. “And I know it’s hard for me because it’s a legal thing so I don’t know always how to explain it.”
She continues, “You’re finally with the person that you’re supposed to be with, and yet you can’t just be happy. It feels very unfair that somebody would work to take that from us.”
Tamra Judge gets tipsy at Katie’s dinner party
Katie is hosting a couples’ dinner party, which unfortunately means Shannon is not included. She wants to get to know Jennifer’s boyfriend Ryan Boyajian, Tamra’s man Eddie Judge, and Emily Simpson’s hubby, Shane Simpson.
Unfortunately, Eddie and Ryan have beef with each other. According to Tamra, Ryan is going around on podcasts bashing her and Eddie. Katie’s husband Matt Ginella has no idea what he’s in for. He looks too mild-mannered for Housewives drama.
Shane has been around long enough to know what’s up and asks Emily as they enter Katie’s house, “Can that purse be used as a weapon?”
Everyone has arrived and the drama already starts when Ryan tries to give Eddie a hug. “You want to give me a hug?” Ryan asks. “No,” Eddie says bluntly, as he walks away.
The tension is tense and Tamra makes it worse by drinking … and drinking. She’s getting another drink for herself and Emily by the bar and spills hers. Oopsie!
She’s not yet naked wasted but she’s getting there. Eddie is annoyed. He tells Matt on the downlow not to give Tamra any more drinks.
Tamra Judge brings up Eddie and Ryan’s beef at Katie’s dinner party
The dinner party is going okay thus far — Emily has a cry about being made to feel fat by Heather at her fashion show and they all gossip about Shannon’s lawsuit.
Tamra then wants to address the elephant in the room. She turns to Ryan and accuses him of talking badly about her on a podcast, alleging that she’s a bad mom and that Eddie is a shady businessman.
“I feel I am validated in everything I said based on the way you guys treated me,” Ryan responds. “Are you f*cking kidding me?” Tamra exclaims.
Jennifer interrupts, “Hold on, you’ve never talked sh*t about Eddie as a businessman.” Luckily the producers have receipts and Ryan is heard saying on the podcast, “When I did hear about Tamra and Eddie, it was nothing positive.” That’s not the same as saying Eddie’s a bad businessman but it’s not favorable either.
Ryan is upset because Eddie and Tamra were spreading rumors that he goes after married women. Ryan asks Eddie why didn’t he talk to him mano y mano if he thought he was going to go after Tamra. “You are not a threat to me,” Eddie says. “You will never have my wife.”
Things get messier when Tamra claims Ryan spoke about her kids on the podcast (he didn’t) and posted something shady about her son on social media (he did). Apparently, Tamra’s son, also named Ryan, got caught with a d*ck pic when he was 18 and Jennifer’s Ryan threw shade on social media by saying, “Worry about your own Ryan.”
The gloves come off and Tamra mentions something about the FBI investigating Ryan (not her son). Eddie tells her to shut the hell up and Tamra storms away. Everyone’s mouth is hanging open and no Ryans have left this dinner party unscathed.
