It’s been just a fortnight since our last encounter with the ladies, yet it feels like ages. In our previous meeting, Lisa was in tears over her dinner, as the women discussed their grievances about her, and now it’s the day after. I couldn’t have hoped for a better lead-up to the penultimate episode. What I appreciated most was how each character played to their strengths, just like they did in the previous episode, acting both as friends and individuals. The bizarre recording by Britani in the Sprinter van served as a reminder of how these women can mend their broken relationships to stand united against an outsider – something that had been sorely missing this season. It’s always great to recall why these women are connected. As Heather mentioned in the voice-over of this season’s premiere, there is a genuine bond among them due to the insane experiences they’ve shared on this show. Despite their frequent outbursts at each other, they ultimately have each other’s backs, and there are lines they won’t cross.
On the day following Bronwyn’s disclosure that Todd had been unfaithful and the heated dinner argument with Lisa, there were numerous paths the situation could have taken. What stands out most about these women and this series is their immediate action when addressing issues. We are fortunate that Lisa’s insistence on addressing Bronwyn’s betrayal towards Angie, Whitney, and Heather resulted in one of the most entertaining and humorous incidents in the entire production: Britani capturing the Sprinter-bus brawl on video.
Let me pause for a second to ponder just how unwise Britani’s actions were. If given the chance or inclination to discreetly capture something, wouldn’t you think twice before pressing record and exposing your screen? Britani, you’re in a compact vehicle with individuals who might be psychopaths; why would you act so carelessly?
Among all these aspects, several caught me off guard. To begin with, Angie demonstrating swiping (as if on Tinder) to Britani had me chuckling. The camera angles within the van appear cinematic to me; however, the angle showing a screaming Meredith is quite terrifying. The intensity of shouting at Britani feels like it’s straight out of my most anxious nightmares. To imagine messing up so severely that a group of women who were on the verge of pulling each other’s hair would instead band together to single you out, well, that’s a scenario I’d flee from immediately. But then again, that’s why there aren’t many like Britani around.
It’s puzzling how Britani’s story kept shifting. Initially, she claimed to be recording a video for her daughter Olivia, supposedly because of her perfect math test score. However, this seems highly implausible as it appears to be a fabricated tale meant to evoke sympathy. Then she explained that she was trying to flip the video and it wasn’t the full 24 seconds, which is contradictory to her initial statement. One wonders what could have been going through Britani’s mind in this situation. Whitney accurately captured the essence of the betrayal when she stated, “We don’t even do that when we’re at odds!” This encapsulates why these women can argue fiercely and then bond – they have their own rules and expectations, and if you don’t understand them, you’re an outsider.
It’s interesting to note that Bronwyn approaching Lisa after their fight appeared as if she was weak or indecisive to everyone, including Lisa herself. In her attempt to reconcile with Lisa, Bronwyn shared information about the other women speaking negatively towards her, hoping it would mend things. However, this strategy backfired because it confirmed the suspicions of those who already doubted Bronwyn’s loyalty. Heather, on the other hand, can get away with similar tactics due to a strong foundation of friendship. Britani’s blunder was overlooked later on since she is not taken seriously by others. Her self-centered and erratic behavior often creates drama without any significant impact, making her an intriguing character that everyone seems to rally against.
By the time they arrived at their ATV destination, I’m sorry for Britani. It’s good that Angie could point out that it was quite intense for Britani to generate so much heat in such a confined area. Whitney is truly kind-hearted for trying to reason with Britani and make her understand why her behavior was irrational. You can tell from her gaze as she speaks to Britani that she’s not engaging with Monica Garcia, and honestly, all the women eventually share the same viewpoint.
Observing other Original Gangster (OG) series, such as the early Real Housewives of New York, for instance, what keeps these shows engaging is how effortlessly these women can set aside drama to enjoy themselves. It’s quite peculiar that Britani seems unfazed by the waterfall incident, but even Lisa finds her behavior amusing and has to concede, in spite of her annoyance, that Britani’s physique was quite appealing, which had me chuckling.
Over the course of this season, many fans quickly criticized Heather for being bothersome and ineffective, seemingly overly reliant on Reality Von Tease. However, recent episodes have shown that these critics were mistaken. Heather is indeed essential to the show’s dynamics, and her extensive therapy sessions seem to play to her strengths. Unlike others, she was able to diffuse tension during the lunch, a task for which she was particularly suited because she had brought Britani into the group.
Originally, I found it hard to comprehend why Britani thought discussing her intimate relationship with Jared could justify her actions, and I’m still not completely convinced by that argument. Granted, she seems more embedded in the Mormon community than any other cast member on the show right now. But, come on, you’re an adult woman, and it’s not as if you’re hiding your transgressions. You’re openly drinking, socializing, and dating – all of which are happening under the public eye!
However, Heather’s point about how the fear of community disapproval can affect people psychologically does resonate with me. To be honest, I believe these women understand that Britani lacks the intelligence and ambition to cause significant harm. After all, it seems like all Britani wants is attention and recognition, regardless of the consequences.
It’s clear that Meredith isn’t able to let go or understand Britani’s restrictions fully. Is it conceivable that Britani would plant a recording device in Meredith’s room? Highly unlikely. Primarily because such an action wouldn’t benefit her and any devices used wouldn’t be secreted away. A more plausible scenario is that Britani might have listened to Meredith outside her room instead.
On the third night of dinner, it’s clear once more that Bronwyn is in over her depth. It’s obvious to all why she sought out Lisa, yet Bronwyn remains oblivious to her own reasons for doing so. She stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that her actions were questionable at best. The fact that Heather, Angie, and Whitney supported Bronwyn after she disclosed her husband’s affair, only to repeat the conversation later in the same evening, is baffling. It seems like such a blatant mistake on Bronwyn’s part. I must admit, I was taken aback that someone as astute as Bronwyn could misjudge the reaction of others so significantly. This incident highlights how eagerly Bronwyn is trying to mend her friendship with Lisa and how ill-equipped she is for the task.
Next week brings our final episode and the eagerly anticipated “eight Lisas” lunch I’ve been looking forward to since the beginning of the season. However, from the sneak peeks, it seems Angie and Mary may have a confrontation during dinner, which is something I really hope we don’t witness. These two have been my pillars throughout this season; I was initially taken aback by their friendship but have come to fully appreciate it now. I simply can’t bear the thought of them arguing! It seems unlikely that the finale will offer a significant resolution between Lisa and everyone else, but the reunion is where we’ll delve deeper into that conflict.
Snowflakes
I’m overjoyed that Robert Jr. is receiving treatment in rehab, yet I can’t help but ponder when the other women outside of Angie will become aware of the situation. This could potentially explain why Angie and Mary were crying during dinner.
It seems increasingly evident that Meredith suffered profound psychological trauma at the hands of Reality Von Tease, a trauma so severe that it may prove irreversible. Given this, it’s no surprise that she appears to be living with deep-seated paranoia.
As a fan, I’m relieved that this journey no longer has the feel of a personal Vida Tequila endorsement tour. It was becoming quite tiresome.
• Whitney was wearing the Ali Baba necklace in this episode. Good for her.
