Jamie is once again joined by guest Piper Sample, this time to take a closer look at what exactly was driving the heated conflict between Lisa Barlow and Heather Gay at The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion. Here we have a tale of two Mormons living their religion very differently - each one vying for control in her life but with remarkably contrasting styles that bump up against the other’s deepest defenses. Major themes include self-betrayal, fear of attack, the price paid for always being “good,” and the unrelenting demand for everyone to see you in the exact way you want to be seen. The episode  also takes a detour into Jen Shah’s volatile temper and the role that her relationship to her culture plays in the season’s most explosive conflicts.
