(Spoiler Alert)
The episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County on BRAVO that aired on February 18, began with the housewives still in San Francisco at their lunch outing. Alexis Bellino gets offended when Vicki Gunvalson uses her cell phone during lunch because Vicki made fun of her for calling her husband Jim the night before at dinner. ( But during their private interviews- ALL of the girls had a problem with Alexis’ constant ringing phone!) But, Alexis uses this as a step to confront Vicki in which she tells her that all of the women at the table get offended by what she says, especially a comment she made about being the only one who works.
Vicki gets defensive and tells her that she is new, and they do not know each other, and she walks out of the restaurant. Tamra Barney and Vicki’s daughter Briana go outside to check on her, and Alexis and Gretchen Rossi eventually follow. And where is Lynne at this time? She went to the restroom, came back and is totally clueless. LOL, classic Lynne Curtin.
After the women go after Vicki, Alexis and Vicki get into it again. This time Alexis tries to make her point again, and Vicki cuts her off. She told Alexis that since she doesn’t work, she shouldn’t have 2 nannies for her kids, why can’t she raise her kids herself if she does not have a job? And if that’s the “job” Alexis claims to have- then why does she have someone else doing it- she should raise her kids herself.
Chalk one up for Vicki.
The women return to the table after calming down. Then Alexis just has to bring God into the mess by suggesting that all the women say a prayer for Briana. Briana had just had a thyroid biopsy done. And the last word when they leave San Fran?
“ Alexis is a hypocrite,” says Vicki.
When Alexis gets back home, she invites her pastor and his wife over for breakfast so they can discuss how people look at them and may not think they live such a Christian lifestyle. Obviously, Alexis was trying to feel okay for her behavior on her trip, as she seeked justification from her pastor.
Now over to the Barney house- Simon asks Tamra how the trip was. She tells Simon about the argument that Alexis and Vicki had at lunch, and Simon turns it into a lecture about how she is never home anymore, she never spends time with the kids, and that the housewife drama is taking control of her life. Does Simon ever listen to Tamra?
So Tamra goes on a walk with Vicki to talk about their friendship, and Vicki tells her she needs to either have her back from now on with the other housewives, or they can end their friendship.
Gretchen’s parent’s rented out Merv Griffin’s estate in Palm Springs and invited Gretchen and Slade to stay the weekend. And just after they arrive, Gretchen’s parents make some not-so-nice jokes at Slade’s expense.
“I stepped in a pile of Slade”, says Gretchen’s father, after talking about his visit to the horse track on the estate.
Slade then goes on a bike ride with her dad, and he reveals his intentions- he wants to ask his permission to propose to Gretchen! But, her dad tells him that he needs to also ask her mom, who doesn’t really care for Slade.
That evening during dinner, Gretchen asks her parents how they have stayed happily married, and the secret to staying married, happily. Gretchen was married and divorce, and she isn’t sure if she wants to go through that again. However, Gretchen overheard Slade telling her father that he wanted to speak to him privately. Looks like Gretchen was heading off that question, which did not take place that night.
Now, Lynne goes to visit her husband in a hotel where he is staying. She and the girls moved in with her mom after they were evicted. Alexa joins her mom and Raquel was nowhere to be found.
Frank apologizes over and over to both Lynne and Alexa, but they really don’t want to be there or want to listen to him at all. Lynne says that they have always lived beyond their means, and have frequently moved. Frank tells her that he will be open and honest with her from now on, but Lynne won’t make any commitments to him. Alexa gets visibly upset so he suggests that they go on a family vacation together.
Nice, don’t have a place to live- lets go on vacation!
Alexa storms out of the hotel room and leaves the situation hanging.
Next week, we should find out how Briana’s biopsy turned out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Briana.
Alexis Bellino is a hypocrate bitch!
I hope Brianna is okay
