16
On this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, dueling events split the ladies up and it’s almost a good thing after the huge fallout between Angie and Mary. Meredith invites Lisa, Mary,and Quai to a tasting at her new lounge while Whitney hosts a 16th birthday for her daughter. Mary is still reeling from Angie’s comment, but states she would be willing to have a sit-down. Things may never be the same again for the once sisters..
Bronwyn‘s mom, Muzzy, is meeting Bronwyn’s boyfriend, Brandon, for the first time. Bronwyn has already met Brandon’s family, so this is clearly not a publicity stunt. Bronwyn laughs off Lisa’s idea that she has been paying Brandon to hang with her.
Her mom has a problem with every man that Bronwyn has ever dated, but when he arrives, he begins charming her right off the bat, despite the fact that Muzzy admits she does still like Todd. Queen Muzzy, as Brandon calls her, explains that she will always let him know what she is feeling, good, bad, or otherwise.
Whitney is busy prepping for her daughter’s 16th surprise birthday party. The theme is shark and Whitney has asked Bronwyn to come as a blow up shark to celebrate. Whitney admits that she won’t be inviting everyone and it just so happens that Meredith is also doing an event on the same day. She is a bit relieved upon hearing this because she was never planning on inviting Meredith anyway.
Whitney’s husband, Justin, opens up about their marital issues and admits that he commiserated about some of their problems with Angie’s husband, Shawn. Whitney explains that she is sleeping better now that she is not next to Justin’s bad energy. Whitney goes on to say that she is not happy with their intimacy, but she has hope that perhaps they can get back to where they once were. They have a serious discussion and Justin wants an answer on what Whitney thinks about their future. What exactly does she want?
Heather, Lisa, and Angie meet for a walk, but in reality, it’s just a yap session. The last time they saw Angie, she was inconsolable and it’s clear that Angie is spiraling out because of what’s secretly going on with her marriage.
Angie knows she will never be able to take back what was said and there is nothing that she can do to change that moment with Mary. She regrets it and will never forgive herself, especially knowing that Mary may never want to be her friend again. Angie admits that she is a “ticking time bomb,” but Mary feels like Angie “weaponized her child.” Mary no longer sees Angie as a true friend.
Angie explains to Lisa that she is in a rough patch in her marriage and Heather is relieved to see Angie talking about her feelings. Angie shares that she no longer feels happy. Lisa states that she went through the same thing last year with John and advises Angie not to give up on their marriage after all these years. However, Angie’s situation is no excuse to justify what she did to Mary. Lisa recommends that Angie sit in it and take what Mary wants to give her if she wants to fix the situation.
Over at Meredith’s future Caviar Lounge in Park City, she is thrilled to be hosting a tasting with Lisa, Mary, and Quai. She did not invite Angie, Bronwyn, or Whitney (for obvious reasons), but she is looking forward to hearing the opinions of her friends.
Prism and Wild Rose Beauty have been helpful with replenishing Whitney’s funds- so much so that she has even been able to pay cash for her daughter’s car. When Bronwyn arrives, she talks about Brandon meeting Muzzy, but the conversation changes once Angie slinks in…just like a snake. It is clear that Angie is uncomfortable.
In the meantime, Meredith welcomes her select few guests to “Perhaps,” the name of her lounge. It IS interesting that Lisa’s lounge Premiere is a mere .4 miles away from Perhaps… They chat as they taste some caviar and we learn that Mary is doing her best to get through this rocky time. When Mary told Robert Sr. what Angie said to her, he went into a dark space. Mary has blocked Angie, which would explain why she never responded to Angie’s text.
Mary shares that Angie just kept going when she did something wrong. It’ll never be the same between them ever again, but admits that she is willing to hear Angie’s apology.
Quai excuses herself to attend Whitney’s party, which of course makes Meredith think her behavior is “ill-mannered.” It’s a shame that Mary does not even know Quai’s name…
Whitney is able to pull off a helluva surprise for her daughter and it’s great to see their family unit working together as one. Quai arrives and fills the others in on Meredith’s place. It was not a party, but there was clearly a guest list that Bronwyn did not make.
Quai explains that Mary told Robert Sr. about the fight. He was very upset and Angie states that she is sick because she cannot undo what occurred. Quai shares that Mary blocked Angie, but Mary is willing to hear Angie out, on her terms, face-to-face. Mary can’t promise that she will be her normal self because she no longer loves Angie. Angie thought they were best friends, but this fight has changed everything… Can they ever get back to where they once were?
