Heather Dubrow is at her yearly mammogram and apparently, it’s the thing these days to go as a group. Accompanying her are Gina Kirschenheiter, Shannon Beador, and Jennifer Pedranti.
While they’re waiting to get their boobies squished, Jennifer tells them that she and Katie Ginella were there when Alexis Bellino got the text from Shannon that she is not invited to London.
“I mean, she was bat-sh*t crazy,” Jennifer says, adding that Alexis kicked her and Katie out. Speaking of crazy, Shannon reads a text from Alexis: “Hi, Shannon Beador. Since you’re hosting this amazing trip to Europe with our friends, surely you can scrounge up the funds to pay my future husband his $75,000 that you borrowed and owe him. Safe travels.”
Moving on to more pleasant topics, Jennifer reveals that she has had a lump in her breasts for five months. They all get checked and get a clean bill of health. However, the doctor tells Heather that she’s at a high risk for breast cancer.
Everyone celebrates not having cancer but no one asks Heather how her exam went and she’s hurt. They can all expect a good talking to soon.
Heather Dubrow casts doubt on Shannon Beador’s story
They all arrive in London and there are sights to be seen and men to grab for Shannon. Upon arriving at the hotel, they see a man with an impressive beard and they’re all over him.
“It’s Shannon’s birthday!” Heather tells him.” He says, “Happy birthday, ma’am.” Because Shannon’s not embarassed enough, Heather yells, “And she’s single!” People over at Picadilly Square probably heard her.
Shannon is really leaning into the theme and has gifted everyone English gifts. Along with a bucket hat, everyone gets a Burberry scarf.
Tamra Judge can’t help but poo-poo on Shannon and wonders why she’s giving everyone such expensive gifts when she’s complaining about John Janssen’s $75,000 lawsuit.
She and Heather bring up Shannon’s appearance on Jeff Lewis’ show where she shared that John wanted her to get a low-interest loan for her face lift. In the clip, she admits asking him for the money. Tamra and Heather thinks that indicates Shannon knew the money was a loan and not a gift.
Heather says Shannon told her she thinks John heard her get into an accident the night of her DUI but on Jeff’s show, she said wasn’t sure if he did and that she hadn’t thought about it. “That’s what’s f*cked up about it. Am I being used?” Heather asks.
It’s London time!
The “RHOC” cast go off to explore the streets of London. Shannon orders them to wear their bucket hats because she’s the Duchess of Corona Del Mar. It’s quite a spectacle.
She has arranged a boat ride and it’s not the nice yacht that they were led to believe. They’re led to a long passenger boat called “Rocket” which doesn’t bode well for them. It’s cold and wet and everyone has to put on life jackets and a weatherproof jacket. They look miserable.
The captain then revs the engine and they’re rip roaring along the Thames. Fancypants is not amused.
Later, as they’re all getting ready for dinner, Gina wonders why Jennifer is getting glammed up by a makeup artist when she’s poor. “That’s a bad decision,” she tells Emily Simpson.
In a confessional, Gina proudly says, “I do my own glam.” If anyone could use glam, it’s her.
Heather Dubrow breaks down at dinner
At dinner, Tamra annouces that Gina told her about getting a mammogram and asks Heather what her results were. “No one actually ever asked me,” she says.
“We heard you cheering so we thought you guys were good,” Shannon replies. Heather tells her, “No we were cheering for Gina.”
She then informs the group that her risk for breast cancer is 40% because of her family history and dense breast tissue. She tearfully tells them that while she’s glad that they’re okay, she’s hurt that nobody asked her about her results right after the mammogram. Everyone looks shocked.
Shannon and Jennifer say sorry but Gina tells the cameras, “I don’t understand why Heather is waiting this long to bring this up. I think that Heather doesn’t see the hypocrisy. Like if this was something that bothered her, why didn’t she just call me after the mammogram?”
Shannon Beador defends herself against Heather Dubrow
The housewives are all getting along so Tamra has to throw a match and watch them all burn. She asks Shannon about the lawsuit and says, “You were on Jeff Lewis’ show and talked about it for an hour.”
“I have absolutely the right to say that what is getting put out there about me is wrong,” Shannon responds. “People are saying that I borrowed $75,000 for a facelift and I didn’t. There was no promissory note, nothing discussed prior, and after, never asked me for the money. Then, a day or two later, he sends me a promissory note.”
In a confessional, Tamra says, “I know for a fact that she borrowed the money. She told me she borrowed the money. And I see his point of view. I’d probably sue your ass too.” What a pal.
Heather than asks her about what she said on Jeff Lewis’ show and tells her she feels used. She thinks that Shannon told her about how John responded to her accident on camera in Sonoma so that she can relay it to the group in a sympathetic fashion.
“How does Heather turn that into something about her?” Shannon asks. She tearfully tells Heather that she just needed a friend to confide in at the time.
“You’re not the f*cking victim, Shannon,” Tamra calls out. Shannon storms out and Gina goes after her. In another bombshell moment, Shannon reveals that when she texted Alexis, she found an old 2018 exchange between them that said, “We have engaged an attorney and will be suing you and Tamra.” There you have it. Alexis was part of the Jim Bellino lawsuit after all.
