The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Reunion Recap: Flight Risk

by

Andy Cohen has tried to prevent props at reunion events ever since a disagreement over Kenya Moore’s scepter and megaphone turned physical. However, the rule isn’t always enforced. This time, Angie managed to bring in a scroll, claiming it proves Lisa Barlow is behind an anonymous online troll account. Angie alleges the troll account shares a phone number with Lisa, but Lisa insists the evidence is false and her number isn’t connected to the account, dismissing the scroll as a failed attempt at proof.

So, how did Angie supposedly solve the mystery? She claims she requested a password reset for the troll account, and Instagram sent the reset link to Lisa’s phone number. However, the process requires you to enter the phone number the link is sent to. Angie’s own screenshot actually shows Instagram asking her to enter the number right after saying the link was sent to Lisa. Honestly, if it were this simple to unmask anonymous online trolls, things would be very different. Despite this, the two women continued to argue intensely, forcing Andy to make a historic decision: he walked off set, prompting apologies and pleas for him to come back.

During their lunch break, Meredith and Lisa openly discuss their strategy, revealing they’re working together. Lisa asks for details when Meredith praises her performance, wanting to know exactly what she did well. Mostly, though, they’re preparing for a difficult conversation about a disastrous flight, agreeing to support each other since they both know what really happened. Meanwhile, Meredith is completely absorbed in wondering if the Greek food decorating the set is authentic, and it’s endlessly entertaining to watch her think about it.

Before discussing the cast trip, Mary shared that her husband, Robert Jr., is in jail for violating a restraining order. She admitted it’s a relief knowing he’s in a place where he can’t cause trouble. Regarding the recent TLC documentary calling her church a cult, Mary dismissed it, saying it was painful but she’s learned to cope with negativity. Andy pointed out that viewers didn’t seem interested in the documentary, likely because the issues had already been discussed on the show years ago. He joked that maybe TLC will make a documentary about the drama from their flight in another five years.

This situation might actually be interesting to follow, mainly because we still aren’t getting clear answers. It all started when Britani mentioned a TikTok video suggesting Seth was unfaithful, but she’s since claimed on Watch What Happens Live that she has additional evidence. While she admits it wouldn’t be admissible in court, she says Seth confided in someone she knows (identified by Lisa as Jared) that he’s dating two women at work. Considering Jared’s track record, his claims are questionable, but Lisa then brings up other things Jared has said, including that Todd traveled to Dubai to obtain erectile dysfunction medication. We see a brief, previously unseen clip of them discussing this at a party hosted by Amy, a socialite from Utah.

Honestly, I’m not interested in Jared’s storyline, but I’m so glad to see Amy back, even if it’s just in a flashback. It makes me wonder why she wasn’t included in the reunion – she should have been a main focus, maybe even the host! Amy wouldn’t have just walked away, and at the very least, she should have been the one offering a toast at the end. I’m already excited for next season and hoping Amy will be a central figure.

Everyone keeps wondering why no one filmed what happened on the plane. Whitney wishes she had, but Heather thinks it would have been inappropriate. Interestingly, Heather didn’t mind filming when Lisa lost her ring. I don’t really follow Heather’s reasoning, especially since she usually understands what makes good TV as a Real Housewife. Britani offers a better explanation: she was criticized all season for recording on her phone. I think the real reason is simply that the flight was six hours long, and Meredith’s anger unfolded gradually, so there wasn’t one clear, dramatic moment anyone felt compelled to capture.

During their conversation, Meredith mentioned Heather had been yelling at her for two months, which caused Heather to become extremely upset and end their friendship. It seemed Heather was very sensitive about being accused of yelling. As they discussed the flight, Heather also noted they had avoided talking about the untrue things Meredith was saying about Britani, not to help Britani, but to avoid upsetting Meredith. Mary quietly agreed, confirming they weren’t trying to protect Britani.

When Andy directly asked Meredith if she’d had a drink before the flight, she quickly changed the subject, wanting to explain the source of her strained relationship with Britani. She explained that their falling out stemmed from Britani supporting a nail technician who had made antisemitic remarks. Britani claims the nail tech, who also worked on Meredith, offered her free services and asked for a positive review, which she gave without knowing about his views. Once she learned of his comments, she removed the review and stopped all contact. Meredith struggles to believe Britani didn’t know what was happening, as it was widely reported, but honestly, does Britani strike anyone as someone who keeps up with the news?

Britani apologized to Meredith both privately and on stage, but Meredith still accused Britani of holding a prejudice against her because of her religion. This accusation deeply upset Britani, causing her to cry and leave the stage. It remains unclear whether Meredith had been drinking before the flight.
