Heather is thrilled to bring her boyfriend, Tripp, to meet the group at her Jupiter Year celebration. She is hoping the women can keep the peace during this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but that optimism quickly fades — especially after Whitney reaches her limit with Lisa’s comments. Britani is already in hot water with nearly everyone, but what she says to Mary may finally push things too far.
Heather has been dating her boyfriend for six months and believes her Jupiter Year party is the perfect opportunity to introduce him to the women. Jupiter Year arrives once every 12 years for each zodiac sign, and Heather reflects on how dramatically her life has changed since the last one.
Bronwyn arrives with her boyfriend, Brandon, who says he was enjoying the “Hypocrisy and Bullsh*t” atmosphere before he fully understood what was unfolding.
Seth attends the party with Meredith, despite the rumors circulating among the women — rumors that began, in part, because of Britani. Angie arrives alongside Mary, who makes it clear she has no interest in wearing a “costume.”
Whitney is delighted that Heather’s boyfriend does not drink, since she now has a sober companion at the party. Heather then fills Whitney in on Angie’s criticism. Angie called Whitney the messiest member of the group, while Whitney argues that Angie has inserted herself into her personal situations TWICE. So, Whitney wonders, who is really causing the mess?
Heather also says Lisa has been criticizing Whitney and accusing her of using personal struggles to gain sympathy from the other women. Lisa, meanwhile, returns to her claim that Whitney cannot be trusted or believed.
Whitney would prefer for Lisa to stay out of her private life, but that is difficult because their husbands are friends. Justin speaks with John, which means Whitney says she has heard troubling claims about the Barlows’ finances, John’s alleged frustration with Lisa, and how unhappy he supposedly is. Yikes.
“Yes, Justin talks to John, so if she wants to f-cking rip off that Band-Aid, how about [Lisa] talk about her personal life?” asks Whitney. “John’s talked about how horrible their finances are, that they’re in a horrible state. That he can’t stand Lisa, and that his life is f-cking miserable.”
When Bronwyn arrives, Whitney describes Lisa’s latest comments as pure hypocrisy and bullsh*t. She tells the group that the “gloves are off.”
Lisa and Whitney can barely manage a greeting, while Mary refuses to look in Britani’s direction. Mary remains furious that Britani took from her despite knowing everything she has experienced. She is especially upset that Britani removed the decor from the table and took back the flowers she had brought for Mary. Donating those flowers to a nursing home, Mary insists, does not make the decision acceptable.
The astrological readings get underway, and Angie is confronted about her Scorpio stinger. She admits that her sharp comments can come out before she has had time to think. That may help explain why she has been at the center of so much drama lately.
Britani approaches Seth to say hello, even though she has previously slandered him. Her lack of awareness about social boundaries is obvious. Seth says he needs to leave because he has had enough, but Meredith believes his departure makes it appear that he feels uncomfortable. She calls Britani a “complete weirdo creep” and tells her to stay away. Meredith insists Britani has no place in her marriage and refuses to entertain anything she says.
As the party continues, Angie decides it is time to tell Bronwyn the truth, having appointed herself the truth fairy. Britani holds a real estate license, although she has not recorded any sales, and she accessed the deed to Bronwyn’s home. Britani appears determined to expose Bronwyn for not being listed on the deed, but Bronwyn explains that she is a trustee and dismisses Britani’s supposed “findings.”
Bronwyn calls Angie a telephone for Salt Lake City and questions why Angie spends so much time investigating the other women. Bronwyn initially refuses to hear what Angie wants to say about Lisa, but Angie shares it anyway. Lisa allegedly believes Bronwyn’s boyfriend is a PR stunt, prompting Bronwyn to laugh. As she points out, would that really be the kind of publicity anyone would pay for?
When Britani joins the conversation, Angie confronts her about looking up comparable sales for the women’s homes. Bronwyn is not persuaded by Britani’s claim that she was simply being professionally curious. She is frustrated because she believed their relationship had improved. Britani accuses Bronwyn of creating a web of lies, while Bronwyn explains that she is not filing for divorce in open court because of stalkers like Britani.
Quai calls Britani creepy, but Britani fires back, “I know a lot about you, too.” Quai concludes that Britani’s reputation comes from stirring up trouble. Angie reminds Britani that she has been discussing other people and taking their flowers. She then asks whether Britani visits nursing homes hoping to collect their pensions. Ouch.
As Britani breaks down in tears, Heather takes the microphone for her big speech. In her confessional, Heather reveals that she can imagine growing old with Tripp. Afterward, Whitney approaches Lisa and tells her to keep her phone nearby because she may want to call John. The warning is hardly subtle.
Whitney pulls Angie aside to address the accusation that she is “messy.” Angie denies saying Whitney uses her personal life as a crutch, but then shifts the blame to Lisa. Whitney challenges Angie for repeating gossip whenever she hears it, while Heather chooses to avoid getting pulled into the latest argument.
Whitney brings Angie over to Lisa so they can get a direct answer. She reminds Lisa that she has accepted responsibility for her past actions and says she will not continue sharing personal details if the women are simply eager to consume the drama. Whitney notes that they both face difficult circumstances and hints that John also speaks with Justin. She suggests Lisa is using Whitney’s marriage as a distraction from problems in her own. Lisa immediately tries to shut the conversation down — perhaps worried Whitney will reveal even more in front of the group.
Lisa argued with Whitney during this RHOSLC episode as Meredith looked on
Mary thinks that Angie is being two-faced, hanging all over Britani, eating food out of her hair — this is the one time Mary agrees with Whitney. Heather finds herself in a tricky situation because she cannot out Angie’s marital situation.
Britani tries to talk to Mary for a moment, but Mary refuses, letting her know that she does not want Britani around her. She tells Britani that she has a stealing problem, calling her out for taking her flowers from her event.
The level of disrespect baffles Mary. She tells Britani that she is going through it right now, but Britani, in the heat of it all, states, “That’s not a thing.” Now, in her confessional, Britani claims there was a misunderstanding during that fight. She never meant that Mary’s grief is not a thing, but it’s too late now. Meredith has had it, and Mary is done with Britani. Seems like there is no coming back after this new low.
