If “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” fans don’t know by now, Angie Katsenevas is Greek. She loves being Greek and eats Greek food all the time and proudly wears the Greek flag. Oh, she’s also Greek. She’s going further by leaning into the Greek mafia storyline from Season 4 so she’s throwing a “Mob Wives” themed anniversary party for herself and Shawn Trujillo. Opa!
Lisa Barlow is surprised at her inviation because she and Angie have been on the outs for some time. She’s also still upset at her for hinting that she’s a bad mom for letting her son Henry play video games all day, which is what most 11-year-old boys do.
After Whitney Rose accused Meredith Marks of spreading rumors about her jewelry line in Milwaukee, they meet up. Whitney apologizes for assuming that she started them and tells her, “I think it’s Lisa.”
Meredith sees things going very badly and advises Whitney to talk to Lisa before she accuses her. “What I don’t want to see happen is you go down this path with her and then you come to find out it’s not her,” she says. Whitney agrees but she already has her mind made up.
Mary Cosby and Bronwyn Newport bond over family and their dislike of Heather Gay
Bronwyn Newport visits Mary Cosby’s house and brings a big-ass orchid. It’s seriously the size of a small tree. As they chit-chat, Bronwyn reveals that she just found out that her daughter’s estranged grandparents are friends with Lisa.
She explains that Gwen grew up not knowing her grandparents, which Mary can relate to because her son Robert Jr. has never met his grandparents either.
She recalls when Robert Jr. was little and the school had Grandparents Day, he’d always want to stay home because he had no one to bring.
Mary shares that she had never been close to her mom, who showed no care or affection toward her or her siblings while growing up. “She never bought food. It wasn’t like we couldn’t afford the food. She just didn’t buy it,” she says. “So I was going to make sure that Robert always had his needs met because I didn’t have that.”
Enough sad talk for now. The conversation turns to Angie’s mafia-themed party and Bronwyn thinks Heather Gay is messy for repeating what Angie said about Lisa’s parenting.
“What I do know about Heather, she can be two-faced,” Mary says. “Why would Heather tell Lisa something rude that Angie said about her?” Bronwyn nods in agreement and thinks Angie should know Heather’s going around talking about her.
Bronwyn Newport exacts her revenge on Heather Gay
It’s time for Angie’s party and everyone’s dressed in their best furs, which for Bronwyn means a giant blue Cookie Monster jacket. If she was an actual mafia wife, she’d be such an easy target. Rookie.
Britani Bateman walks in with a date named Aaron and it’s clear she’s trying to look like she moved on from Jared Osmond. Heather recognizes him and it turns out she dated him as well. That’s Salt Lake City for ya.
Mary goes over and thinks Aaron is Jared so she says, “Hi Jared.” Cringe. Britani tells her that his name is Aaron and Mary doesn’t believe her.
Over on the other side of the room, Bronwyn tells Angie that she knows about the parenting diss made toward Lisa. Angie’s face immediately turns and she knows that Heather spilled their private conversation. Someone’s getting a horse head in their bed tonight.
Bronwyn tells Angie that regardless of her friendship breakdown with Lisa, it’s Heather who’s the one adding fuel to the fire. “I don’t appreciate that Heather did that,” Angie fumes. “She fully is like, up Lisa’s ass right now and she’s staying there.”
It seems that Bronwyn has not forgotten when Heather came after her at Lisa’s Besos party and she is out to get her revenge like a good Mafioso.
Heather Gay gets the shakedown
During the party, Angie tells Heather she didn’t mean to insinuate that Lisa is a bad mom. “When you came into my room, you were like really fired up and you’re making little digs about Lisa that seemed out of character for you. And you mom shamed her about electronics,” Heather argues. “I feel like something has shifted in you and you no longer have Lisa’s back.”
Angie responds, “I’m blown away right now … You take sides and it’s not good.” They go over to the source of the matter and Heather asks Bronwyn why she’s getting involved in her friendship with Angie.
“It shocked me that you told Lisa something that she was probably just venting to you about,” Bronwyn says.
Heather is mad that Angie is taking Bronwyn’s word against hers and walks away in a huff. Bronwyn thinks Heather is messy for meddling but she’s meddling as well, and at this point, the only ones not meddling are the husbands. Oh wait.
Justin Rose is messy
Just as things get spicy in Angie’s crib, guess who shows up? Why none other than Jared freaking Osmond. Heather and Whitney’s husband Justin Rose greet him like he’s a Mormon prophet but Britani looks like she’s seen the holy ghost.
Everyone else gasps and wonders why he’s there. It turns out that Justin invited him in the middle of Angie’s mafia party and just happened to tell Jared that Britani was there. Is Justin trying to snag a “RHOSLC” snowflake?
Britani starts crying and her poor date is now regretting spending $100 on his Jos. A. Bank tux rental. Surprisingly, Bronwyn has her back and asks her what she needs. Britani can’t even talk and when Bronwyn asks if she needs a hug, she nods yes. Reluctantly, Bronwyn gives her one.
Britani takes Jared outside to talk and tears are streaming down her face. She tells him that it’s confusing to her that he shows up knowing she’s there when she’s just trying to get over him. The dude is just stringing her along and it’s sad.
The husbands get involved
Everyone’s airing out their greivances and this mafia anniversary party is more like a funeral. Whitney pulls Lisa aside and asks her if she forgot her Prism gift behind in Milwaukee. “Yeah, I accidentally left it in my room,” Lisa tells her, blinking like crazy.
Whitney lets that go but then says that she knows Lisa was the one who told a social media account about her jewelry supposedly being an Alibaba knockoff.
Lisa immediately goes on the defensive. “I did not do that Whitney. Don’t accuse me of something like that. You’re going to have to apologize.”
“It narrowed down to you,” Whitney says. This is when Lisa goes bananas. “It’s not me, Whitney. It’s not f*cking me!” Lisa yells.
Lisa insists it’s a lie and gets one of her six lawyers on the phone. She tells her head of security, “I’m going to send you information and I want to go the distance on it. The distance.” She wants the LAPD and SLCPD involved as well. Like they don’t have enough to deal with than housewives accusing one another of ripping off jewelry designs.
She storms up to Justin and asks, “How do you do this? You have to deal with the lies.” Like a good hubby, he answers, “She’s not a liar. Don’t call my wife a liar.”
John Barlow places his hand on Justin’s chest to calm him down but dude can’t be putting hands on a heated guy. “Get your hand off me,” Justin snarls. Whitney is trying to calm her husband down and everyone’s yelling. It’s a typical chaotic mafia party after all. The fun continues next week.
