RHOC-The HawkTua Heard ‘Round Temecula

RHOC S19 E10 – Whine or Champagne?

Podcast Summary

The episode kicks off with lighter moments—Shannon getting Botox, Jenn and Ryan washing the Cybertruck, and Heather unboxing packages—before the drama begins brewing.

Tamra invites the ladies on a quick Temecula vineyard getaway, but Shannon hesitates, leaning on her therapist for advice about her rocky friendship with Tamra. Meanwhile, Heather records her podcast with guest Dylan Mulvaney, sharing heartfelt thoughts on parenting her diverse kids. Emily and Jenn bond while volunteering at an animal shelter, but Emily also opens up about the struggles of balancing Luke’s needs with her other children’s.

Tension builds as Tamra’s shady gift for Shannon (a book titled How Not to Be a Miserable Cow) has even Sophie calling her out for being petty. Gina warns Travis that she doesn’t want Tamra stirring things up with Shannon, while Heather hosts Emily and Gretchen for a sleepover.

The vineyard trip itself delivers classic Housewives chaos: Shannon overpacks (even pans and muffin tins), forgets her flipper tooth, and cooks breakfast. The ladies take sidecars to wine tasting where Shannon’s snort makes it onto Tamra’s glasses, and the infamous "HawkTua vs. swallower" debate makes Shannon squirm. Heather brags about her Groundlings classes, while Emily stirs tension by repeating Jenn’s comments about Heather pacifying Tamra.

Dinner brings the “fatty photo” drama back up, with Tamra admitting she was being shady. Jenn pushes back, but Tamra brushes it off with a half-hearted apology. Shannon explodes, calling Tamra a hypocrite and accusing her of never taking accountability. Tamra fires back, bringing up Shannon’s drinking—prompting Gina to admit she is worried about her. The episode ends with Shannon breaking down, saying her life has been better without Tamra, but the unresolved tension looms heavy over the vineyard.
