Heather’s much-anticipated yacht excursion sets sail in this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, giving fans an unexpected yet delightful crossover with Below Deck. Heather seizes every opportunity to flaunt her “friendship” with Captain Jason. However, the turbulent seas prove too much for Angie, who struggles with seasickness. Meanwhile, Lisa faces accusations linking her to recent leaks involving Bronwyn.

Bronwyn, after some deliberation, opts to join the ladies in Canouan at a later stage. She needs to process the serious allegations of identity theft and fraud that have surfaced before dealing with the inevitable barrage of questions from the group. Whitney expresses surprise at Bronwyn’s willingness to show up despite the gravity of the accusations.

After a grueling 15-hour journey, they arrive at the opulent “billionaire’s playground.” Heather joyfully reunites with her old friend, Captain Jason, while Angie earnestly praises the crew, cautioning them about the demanding nature of their group. Lisa doesn’t hold back, throwing shade at Angie by alluding to her supposed RV lifestyle. Angie, however, is not entirely innocent, contemplating whether she should avoid Lisa or stand next to her to make her “ankles look smaller.” OMG.

Britani, who is unabashedly boy-crazy, is utterly captivated by the muscular men on board, making it clear her priorities don’t quite align with motherhood. Her eyes are set on Captain Jason, and she boldly announces her 30-day break from Jared, though we soon discover this is a fabrication, as Jared had helped her pack for the trip. The women establish a playful new rule: each time Britani mentions Jared, she gets doused with water—a task Meredith is particularly enthusiastic about.

The hot men with big muscles are blowing boy-crazy-Britani’s mind and it is clear that there is zero chance of her ever putting her children before a guy.  Britani is currently ogling Captain Jason, staking her claim and letting the group know she is on a 30 day break with Jared.  (We later learn this is untrue since he came to help her pack before the trip…) The women instate a new rule on deck: any time Britani says the name Jared, she gets splashed with water…and no one is more excited to do this to her than Meredith…

Bronwyn makes her grand entrance onto the yacht via boat and she is a bit worried how this trip may shake out, especially with Todd’s warning hanging over her head.  Lisa knows that Bronwyn has a lot on her plate right now, but she kinda loves that karma is biting Bronwyn in her a*s.  You see, Bronwyn loved dragging Lisa for her lawsuits and now, according to Lisa, Bronwyn is getting a taste of her own medicine with these headlines.  Lisa wonders why Bronwyn came for her “so hard” when she had “icky skeletons in her closet.” Interesting…

In the quarters, Angie explains to Mary that she is starting to get a bit seasick and Britani unpacks her Build-A-Bear unicorn stuffie from Jared, complete with a recording of his voice.  It should be noted that he says “you are loved” on the recording and not “I love you.”

Lisa and Meredith discuss Bronwyn’s entrance. Meredith wonders if Bronwyn will bring up all of the allegations.  The thing is, Bronwyn feels as though someone in the group is planting these stories.  She talks to her roommate, Britani, about her theories, and brushes off the manipulative headlines. They are a way to discredit her as a person, but she admits she HAS made mistakes.  For instance, she was evicted from the apartment she lived in back in her BYU days. 

Bronwyn tries to clear up the more recent case noted in the leaks.  This is a sealed case, so she cannot go into great detail, however, felony, grand theft, and identity theft all fall under the penal code it was filed under.  These upsetting headlines have rocked her family and she wants to figure out who leaked them.

Angie gets sick right before lunch, but tries to power through. Whitney prods Bronwyn to see if everything is ok considering the current news.  When asked about the timeline of the allegations, Bronwyn clarifies that 20 years ago, there was a judgement brought against her for not paying her rent.  There are NO charges brought against her from four years ago and you won’t find a mug shot or police record of the instance. 

According to Bronwyn, there was something going on at her work that she cooperated with, but the case is sealed.  Bronwyn feels like the nastiness that has recently come out in the press might have been the doings from someone directly in the group. As the saying goes, “a guilty conscience needs no accuser.”  Lisa takes the bait.

Lisa’s defensiveness is starting to smell fishy.  She essentially outs herself.  It’s like tell us you did it without telling us you did it, Lisa.  But Lisa claims she is simply irritated that accusations keep swirling and she refuses to take the blame. She is heated and p*ssed and started to sweat.

Post lunch, the ladies get into the water.  Heather tells Britani that she has “f*cked around before [with Captain Jason].  There’s nothing there,” but in her confessionals, Heather denies this and is beyond embarrassed.  I’m sorry, what?!

The deckhand has to head out to save the floaters and Angie barfs right there on the paddleboard. Angie is so sick, but according to Lisa, “She’s so full of it, she makes her own self sick.” Spoken like a GREAT friend.  

While Britani flirts with anyone with a pulse, Whitney and Bronwyn chat about the lunch.  Bronwyn’s gut is telling her that Lisa is the reason these allegations resurfaced.  Lisa appears to not even be hiding her involvement.  She referred to Bronwyn as Con-wyn, a nickname that also happens to appear in some nasty tweets. (According to the video footage, Lisa calls Bronwyn “fraud-wyn,” but that’s neither here nor there, really).  

Lisa has done this to everyone, according to Whitney. Every time Lisa is mad at someone, information leaks about them.  Heather actually agrees with Whitney, despite being Lisa’s bff. Lisa is mad about Bronwyn and wants her history exposed. When Angie dropped that Lisa had given her names to dig up stuff on Meredith, it all adds up. According to Heather, all of this tea was leaked by Lisa. 

Whitney goes to grab Meredith to get to the bottom of this mystery. Whitney reminds Meredith that when Lisa hated Whitney, stuff leaked.  Now that Lisa is at odds with Bronwyn, Meredith puts two and two together that Lisa may be engaging with the press.  Heather goes on to say, “We were talking about Lisa’s lawsuits and now we aren’t talking about them anymore.” 

Meredith states, if it is true, it would be a big problem. Meredith plays it safe and will neither confirm or deny if she thinks Lisa did this to Bronwyn. Meredith is willing to give Lisa the opportunity to see what she has to say.

Captain Jason pays a visit to Angie’s quarters to check on her seasickness. In the meantime, the rest of the group heads to dinner. However, Mary chooses to stay with her bestie girl and eat in the room, a smart move on her part. You know it’s bad if staying with a barfing friend is the better option here.

Britani claims she is the only one who says things to people’s faces.  However, Bronwyn points out that Britani has chosen to leave out her issues with some of the others: ie Meredith and Lisa. According to Britani, Lisa big-sisters her and Meredith pretends to have seizures and Britani thinks it’s an act. OMG. Meredith stands up and throws water on Britani, and in retaliation, Britani throws water on Meredith. Did I miss Britani saying Jared this time or…?

Meredith is disgusted by Britani’s word choices, but Britani thinks Meredith dislikes her because she is not afraid of Meredith. Meredith is sick of Britani’s lies and recordings, reminding her of all the nasty things she has done. Bravo to Bronwyn for getting the target off her back.

Heather suggests that the women begin to own things at the table.  Of course Meredith leaves it to Whitney and Heather to confront Lisa for the leaks.  Heather takes a deep breath and states that she thinks Lisa is the “source of all the dirt.” 

Lisa looks appalled and wonders why everyone is always questioning her. She screams that she is not the source. Lisa refers to herself as the “don of Salt Lake City” and tells the group that everyone just tells her things.

Lisa storms over to Heather and confronts her, wondering what kind of friend she is for thinking that. Lisa tells the group “you’re lucky I f*cking talk to any of you” and Heather claims she has been a good friend to Lisa (yet she started this whole thing so…).  Lisa goes off on Meredith, telling her she better have stood up for her.  As the dessert gets brought out, the ladies holler making things awkward.  

Lisa refuses to admit to something she never did, but she looks backed in a corner.  She reminds the ladies that the Bronwyn info is all over the internet. Lisa tells Heather she can no longer be her friend because of the accusations Heather is stating, but Heather continues to call Lisa out by stating, “You’re spinning it, you moron.”  Lisa is the one making this so much worse!

In the heat of the moment, Heather tells Lisa to get off the yacht all while the chef attempts to chat with the group about their meal.  No such luck.  Lisa almost grabs Heather by the neck and they break away from the rest of the group, shrieking and yelling at each other.

Lisa tearfully calls John and storms off, but Heather is hot on her heels. She follows Lisa downstairs, which begs the question, WHY? Heather brought this to light. Lisa thought she was back on track with Heather, but she needs to reassess their friendship.  

A hyperventilating Heather pops in to talk to Angie and Mary. They back Heather, telling her she is brave and it’s “game over” for Lisa now. Mary and Angie coach Heather, stating they all know Lisa is the source.  Heather walks off, claiming she will “carry the message” to Lisa from all of them… Is someone going to wind up overboard?
