Angie's long-awaited trip to Greece is the focus of this episode with Heather and Mary preparing by learning important Greek phrases from Angie's dad and Aunt, Whitney expressing concerns to terse Tater Todd, and Lisa naming and packing luxury labels. After a long day+ of travel, the women gather for a picturesque dinner in Santorini where they savor the locale and cuisine while fighting about Cartier watches. Lisa being the only person to arrange for glam, coupled with her accusation that Angie copied her by buying a Cartier watch, the group agrees that Lisa is too fixated on her appearance and labels. The episode wraps with another dinner airing of grievances amidst a beautiful setting with Heather and Meredith arguing about the breakdown of their friendship over the unseen Britani/airplane debacle. 

BONUS: Holiday rom-com recommendations, learning about Cartier watches and airport stores, and an exciting rumor about Bronwyn at the reunion filming

The first half of this pod covers current events, including the loss of another decorated Admiral, how much lower the bar for ICE agents has fallen, more Presidential pardons for seemingly guilty people, and FIFA's take on a zombie peace prize from hell. Also, how the Pentagon just agreed to give a record amount of $620M to a small company, the hilarity of accusing Senator Mark Kelly of sedition, the new anti-science CDC, and deportation news. Then, the second half delves into the putrid underbelly of RFK Jr's most recent, lewd, extramarital scandal, with Lauren Skae tagging in to explain the unforgettable details.

As the episode gears up for Bronwyn's American citizenship celebration of a "Spill the Boston Tea Party", we get a tense scene between Whitney and Justin that delves into her fillings of resentment about the MLM debacle that wiped out Wild Rose Beauty. Also, Heather reflects on another daughter leaving for college, Bronwyn fulfills her charitable orders of Pride flags with her mother, and explains her regret about losing Whitney's trust to Tater Todd while she's dressed as an inflatable sloth. At the Tea Party, Meredith and Whitney go head to head again over what did or didn't happen on that mystery flight, and why, as allegations of drug and/or alcohol abuse fly amidst chilled caviar and drug tests.

Mary hosts another fabulous lunch at Valter's in Salt Lake City, complete with red carpet and fighting fish. On the agenda is the ongoing quest to resolve the mid-air conflict between Meredith and Britani, despite Britani not being invited. Lisa and Meredith continue to alienate themselves from the group by presenting different recollections of what happened on the plane but they quickly realize the group won't be swayed and insists on an apology to Britani. Then the episode goes from traumatic situation to traumatic situation, Britani and her daughter Olivia in therapy, Bronwyn discussing the loneliness she feels knowing her daughter and mother will soon be moving out, and Heather showing the world a very disturbing mattress. By the end, we finally get to see Meredith summoning Britani to delver a quasi-apology and let's hope it puts the issue to bed, on a clean mattress.

Saying farewell to a torturous season of Real Housewives of Orange County that brought us stale beef, weaponized tears, and more lies than confusing denim outfits (and there were a lot of confusing denim outfits). The delusion, denial, and conspiracy theories as deflection from accountability all continue to go strong through the third reunion installment. Lowlights include Heather stating that she heard about Gretchen's problematic stances but "chose to ignore it", Tamra sticking with her belief that Jen tried to copy her life, Shannon backing everything and anything anti-Tamra, Katie's husband sassing the women to a "get your orange, Matt" level, and Gretchen's unlimited pile of excuses for why she followed and liked myriad accounts posting bigoted views...including an amusing new allegation that even comes with a booklet. Bonus: a plastic bag PSA, and using OC foolishness to explain the "strawman" strategy, commonly used by people who know they can't win an argument.

The episode kicks off with a high body count hair party to boost Britani's mood, complete with a build-a-stuffed animal activity and yet another declaration from the women that Meredith and Lisa need to apologize or they won't be included. Despite being on a 30-day break and feeling down, Britani answers a call from Jay-rod and meets him in a park so he can complain about his perceived woes, question her alleged behavior on said break, and continue to be unclear about their "relationship". It's a cautionary tale for the ages. Throughout, we see Mary excited to re-open her church after years of renovations, there's a supportive scene between her and her son, and all the women attend her first emotional service back.

*Trigger Warning: SA and general depravity*

A dive into some of the 20,000 Epstein emails and texts that were released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on November 12, 2025. They show convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein having lively conversations with a multitude of pathetic men. In this pod, we dive into the subject matter of those conversations and explain who those men are/were. From strategizing about Woody Allen's defense against revived sexual abuse allegations from his daughter (not the one he married), to making light of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to advising married men in their quests to sleep with other women, the emails reveal glimpses of a perverted web of connections. Some of the most chilling messages are between Epstein and Steve Bannon discussing Russia, Hitler, the middle east, meetings that influenced Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation, and their consequent anticipation to overturn the Chevron case. Other Epstein buddies mentioned include Larry Summers, Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Larry Krauss, and Tom Barrack.

I'll always remember this as the episode I watched during a flight to Bravocon as I nearly lost my mind mid-air when Bronwyn and Whitney had a ground-breaking discussion about Todd's infidelity and their views on open relationships. Even with that massive topic, the main focus is Meredith's airport meltdown. Her cast members each describe unbridled rage and outbursts at Brittani on their flight back to Utah that focused on the TikTok video that alleges Seth was seen with a mistress in Ohio. Yet, both Meredith and Lisa resist hearing harsh feedback from the ladies and insist things were different, and without any footage it's everyone's word and memory against theirs.

The Below Deck crossover trip ends with another raucous day filled with shouting matches, accusations, and more ailments for Angie. The allegation about Todd cheating while gassy rocks Bronwyn and leads to a real apology from Lisa to never ever-ever speak about her family again. Lisa and Meredith bump heads over whether Meredith defends her enough, Britani and Meredith get into a showdown over an online rumor about Seth/Mr. BigLots, and Angie rallies from her sick bed to deliver the knock-out blow to Lisa about sharing rumors concerning both of Todd's ends. This show has it all: blow up animals, angry zombies, sleep paralysis unicorns, unexplained heads on sticks, and talk of cheatin' fartin' taters. CINEMA.

A rapid-fire, rant-filled rundown of the last four episodes of the season, plus the first installment of the Reunion. Typical Orange County housewife meltdowns, fits, and attempted smear campaigns culminate in a trip to Amsterdam. As the women feign interest in moving forward, the last night of the trip serves as a backdrop for Tamra's grand finale against Gretchen...a bomb about her bigoted social media activity amidst a facade of "love and light". Heather explodes and Shannon weeps, but everyone else seems to have already known about the startlingly offensive (and that's saying something for OC) online activity. The high drama continues with on screen text from production informing viewers about accusations that Tamra had been leaking information about the season to her dedicated followers. Reunion Part 1 touches on neither of those hot topics but does include Katie for the first time since mid-season.
