Meredith Wears Ali-Ba-Bangs (Part 1 of 2) (RHOSLC Full Recap)

What's up Bros? We had so much to talk about with RHOSLC this week, that we decided to break this up into a 2 parter. In Part 1, Lisa and Heather recap the trip to Palm Springs. Heather is still implying that she was not invited to the trip, even though we watched Bronwyn extend a (somewhat backhanded) olive branch. Heather has somehow decided that she is the 'bouncer' of the group, and uses last years experience with Monica as a defense when it comes to accepting newbies into the group. We get to see more Todd and Bronwyn and in our personal opinion, we do not care for how Todd is continuing to speak to her. Its condescending and feels more like a father reprimanding a child than it does a spouse speaking to their partner. Again, Todd, this is a housewives show, she HAS to mix it up and throw some shade. However, in her confessionals, it does seem like Bronwyn is aware of the dynamic and isn't happy with it herself. Angie K has an emotional scene with her dad discussing her late mother and her struggles with alcohol. In a year full of shows and castmembers dealing with substance abuse problems, this is an important scene that does humanize alcoholism. It shows the damage it does to those involved, and also the struggle of recognizing its an illness and the work it takes to forgive. Mary plans an Audrey Hepburn party to distract from her own struggles with Robert Jr. and we will get into the whole party in part 2!
