HEATHER: Hey. What did you find out?
Are you kidding me right now?
Shut the [bleep] up.
[thunder rumbling]
I'm trembling. Like, trembling.
I cannot believe it's her. [sobs]
How could she do this to us?
I'm freaking the [bleep] out. I'm freaking the [bleep] out.
Guys, no. Seriously, seriously. You guys.
***
[door slams]
[Heather sobs]
How did we all fall for it?
***
I don't know who to trust anymore.
***
WHITNEY: It is not an enemy that taunts me.
Instead, it is you.
HEATHER: My equal, my companion, and close friend.
***
ANGIE: Put no trust in a neighbor.
Have no confidence in a friend.
MEREDITH: Guard the doors of your mouth from her.
***
LISA: Your enemy, the devil...
MONICA: ...prowls around,
looking for someone to devour.
***
HEATHER: He who breathes out lies
will not escape.
You're not going to be able to talk your way out of this.
***
You're a ----ing liar right now.
-You're done. -You are nobody's friend.
-Everything about you is fake. -That's the goddamn truth!
Get her away from us!
Stop lying!
You...can...leave!

MAN: This is KSL News Radio
reporting from Park City at Sundance,
back again, finally, in 2023.
Okay, you guys, we have 30 minutes
to change this space over. -Okay.
If you can help by start moving the chairs and the tools off...
***
And then we're gonna start dropping the other tables.
Pull all the seating vignette forward.
Can someone get someone to mop the floors?
-Yes. -Okay.
There's a reason they call me the Sundance queen.
Not many people can throw these huge parties
on such a short timeline
and execute them to perfection like I do.
***
Let's drop this highboy and, like, 86 those chairs.
WOMAN: Got it.
We just wanna shift this a little bit.
Move these chairs back and move the sofas up.
I have been doing Sundance for 14 years.
Yep. Refluff everything.
Let's bring the house lighting down about 20%.
During Sundance, you hustle, and it's no sleep
for, like, five days, but I still love it.
I think we're good.
We did that quick.
***
I don't know if these dropped or not,
but Anni handed them to me, so...
Oh, they must have.
***
Oh, my gosh. Today it's been insane.
Like, last night, it was nice to get in, like, by 2,
but honestly, this morning I thought
I was like, oh, I have an easy morning,
and it is literally there's so much going on.
[cellphone chimes]
Oh, Henry has a birthday party next Saturday.
Um, I think the hard thing with me and Sundance is
I just feel horrible because I'm missing the kids.
-[cellphone chimes] -And I think
it's really important that we're all together. Hold on.
Okay. This is Jack's senior year,
and I wanna be super present... -Yeah.
...with everything he has going on.
And I just know that this time with him is...
[voice breaking] I don't want to cry.
But I'm just like, you know, we don't have him
for very long. -Well--
And it's just, like, so stressful.
We'll always have him,
but he's--he's ready to fly the coop.
-He wants to get out... -Yeah, but--
-...and do his own thing. -Yeah, but the thing is now
with, like, him just telling us, like, you know,
three weeks ago that he decided to go...
on a mission instead of college, it's like,
now I'm just like, I'm not gonna see him for two years.
About a month ago, Jack and I got into it at home
because I wanted to see his essays
for two schools he was applying to.
He sits down next to me and just starts bawling.
[voice breaking] And I'm like, "What's going on, Jack?"
He's like, "Mom, it's gonna be okay,
because I decided to go on a mission."
-I'm proud of him. -Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm happy that he made that decision, but it's--
That's a big step, and on his own, too.
Yeah.
***
A mission is devoting two years of your life to serving others
and teaching people about Jesus Christ.
So, Jack's giving up two years of his life
to basically help everyone but himself.
When he told us, you know, I was crying
because I haven't been involved in the process.
I think I'm still dealing with the emotion that I had no idea,
and he's been prepping for a year,
and then it makes me think, like, you know,
maybe he does need more time with me,
or maybe he just wants less.
I keep reminding you, where were you when you were 17?
In college in New York City, at the Limelight.
Yeah. You weren't hanging out with your parents.
-No. -You weren't, you know,
begging for your parents to hang out with you.
-He's the same way. He's... -Yeah.
I was the same.
The hardest part is that Jack hid this
from John and me for almost a year.
And I'm like, "Well, why didn't you tell us?"
And he literally said,
"Because you and Dad are different than me."
And I'm like, "I've been raising you
to love God and Christ your whole life.
Like, how are we different?"
And he's like, "I'm just not like you and Dad."
And it hurts. It hurts.
Like, what else don't I know about Jack?
Am I so disconnected from my son
that he doesn't wanna tell me this?
Am I, like, a bad mom? You know...
Like, am I not present enough? Am I, like...
Have I missed... Like, how did I miss this?
How do you feel about everything?
I think what we need to do is sit down and figure out...
-[cellphone chimes] -...try and figure out
the next few months. -Hold on.
The team's messaging me.
Hold on one second.
***
[grunts]
***
I've been living in the same house
since I moved to Utah, you know, 20 years ago.
It's the house that I raised my kids in.
It was the house that I lived in with my husband.
And even after the divorce, I stayed there
so it'd be consistent
and I wouldn't disrupt my kids' lives.
But now I released my book. The book made
the "New York Times" Best Seller list,
opened a second Beauty Lab location.
It has been a transformative year for me.
I wanna venture out. I wanna be brave.
I want to, like, you know, start a new life,
so I bought a new house.
***
And it's three blocks west of my old one. [laughs]
***
I mean, are you seriously doing the shoveling?
They didn't plow the path.
-Hi. -Hi.
Here, stay here. Hold this.
[laughs] Hold this for support? Okay.
You can help me shovel the path.
Um...
This sounds like a lot of fun, let me tell ya.
I don't shovel snow.
I mean, most of us hire snow removal services,
at least up in Park City.
I actually enjoy an ice pick, and this is not that different.
It's a great way to get aggression out.
You enjoy an ice pick?
[laughs]
Does Seth Marks know
that Meredith Marks' weapon of choice is an ice pick?
You're my first "New York Times" Best Seller friend.
I'm officially a hobnobber then.
That's right. That's right. So, how's it been going now?
People are loving it. They're reading it.
And, I mean, it's not all great, but...
Backlash mainly from people in the church, I am assuming or...
Yeah. Mostly.
I didn't write a book called "Bad Mormon"
and put my face on it without anticipating fallout.
But in addition to that, I've been under scrutiny because
I've been friends with someone who went to prison.
-How are you doing? -Mm.
I had an unexplainable black eye.
***
I've learned that hate is always gonna come,
but right now I'm just trying to,
you know, block out the haters
and for the first time live my life authentically for me.
-So, cheers to us. -I gotcha.
So, um, what have you been up to?
Um, I saw Whitney.
And this is the first time you've really seen her
in months, right?
Completely. First time we've spoken...
-Wow. -...anything.
HEATHER: Obviously, everybody had a tough year,
but I think no doubt, like, it was the toughest for us.
Like, we had the most collateral damage.
You know, we lost our relationship.
I want to, like, forge a new path as friends, you know?
Well...
I'm gonna be honest. Like...
It's gonna be hard for me to trust you
that you really wanna be my friend.
***
Like, we just got to show each other that we mean it.
***
I felt like this feels a little bit vague
of how we're really gonna move forward,
but it was more positive than I thought it would go.
We talked about doing, like, an event,
like, where we get everyone together
and just, like, see everyone face to face,
have a spirit of, like, friendship, fresh start.
-Mimosas, maybe brunch. -Mimosas are positive.
-Right? -Brunch is positive.
I want positive experiences that help me build trust
because I want to feel safe around her again,
and I don't right now.
-Well, I hear you. -And she doesn't either.
Because I don't really either around her right now.
She's really gotten under my skin.
More than usual? [laughs]
She's in the press, and she says this whole thing
about how Seth and I taking a bath is creepy
and, like, filled with bacteria or DNA or whatever.
-Wait. What? -I'll tell you.
About a week and a half ago,
Whitney did an interview in the press
with the "New York Post," and she said,
"You won't see Rose slipping on her slippers
after a shared bubble bath with husband Justin Rose
like Meredith and Seth Marks,
as the Wild Rose Beauty founder prefers...
[breathy voice] 'cooking dinner and having wine'...
[normal voice] to unwind with her man."
-[laughing] -And then she says...
[breathy voice] "'It creeps me out to get in a bubble bath
with someone else.
Like, to me, a bath is for me'....
[normal voice] citing an article she once read about...
[breathy voice] how much DNA is in a bathtub."
[laughs]
How much DNA do you think is in her hot tub?
My bathtub is cleaned by my housekeeper every day.
Does she drain and clean that hot tub
that she invites, like, 85 people into regularly?
It's like saying I'm dirty and creepy.
-I just... -It's offensive.
Wait, I'm confused.
Does she think this is funny, or is she really mad?
Well, it's rude.
Of course she's really mad about it.
She's Meredith Marks.
This has been an ongoing thing for years now
where Whitney makes these nasty little digs at me,
and I'm just kind of tired of it.
Don't come after my bathtub. Does she not know me?
***
You don't go after my marriage. You don't go after my bathtub.
I mean, the only thing she left out was my children.
***
We just got these in yesterday.
-Just a small--small order. -What's...
-It's fluorite and diamond. -Gorgeous.
***
I think we can put these three in here
with the gold in the center.
Perfect.
***
MARY: Jen smelled like hospital.
***
You can go, little girl.
***
Your kids need nutrients.
[bell tolls]
You better buckle up, because here I am.
[chuckles]
***
-Just saying. -[door creaking, knob rattling]
Why is it closed?
MEREDITH: Mary's struggling.
Oh. Hello! Be careful.
-We need-- -Yeah, that--
-That could have been something. -The door's a little swollen
and sticky. I'm sorry. -That could have left a mark.
-Hi. -How are you?
-Good. -Good to see you.
-You, too. -Oh, my gosh.
-I missed you. -Have someone fix that door.
-Did you hike up the hill? -It feels like it.
It feels like it, and by the time I had to get to the door...
Oh, the altitude, the door, the incline, it's all--
-I'm feeling it right--Whoa! -[laughs]
Over the last year, I have been in touch with Mary.
-I'm hungry. -All right, let's do it.
Let me get my coat.
It was important to me that she understood
that I am there for her.
I pretty much cut everyone off except Meredith.
[laughs]
I'll just put it this way. The distance was good.
***
So, tell me what's been going on.
Catch me up with Robert Jr., Robert Sr.
Catch me up? Uh, I'm gonna need you to catch meup.
How's everybody?
I love it.
-But Robert Sr.'s good. -Yeah.
Doing good. Robert Jr.'s doing good.
Nice.
So, Robert Jr. has a girlfriend,
but everyone's telling me it's his wife.
So, we're gonna have to figure that one out.
I haven't had a chance.
Ladies, do we have any questions about the menu?
-I'll do the lobster. -All right.
And I'm getting the spinach and cheese salad.
Robert Sr. just got back from Vegas.
He was out there for quite a time,
like, maybe six months.
It was good.
How are your kids? How's your family?
-Busy. Like, very busy. -Good.
But good. All good.
And then, like, on our friend front,
things have been, um, interesting.
Poached lobster tail.
MEREDITH: Thank you.
-Spinach and goat cheese salad. -MARY: Thank you.
So, Meredith...
Oh. I mean...
Look, there's nothing to say about it anymore.
She said she's guilty, and she's going to serve her time.
[chuckles]
Everyone can start healing and moving forward now.
That's the only positive.
I have not spoken to Jen since she went to prison.
I mean, she's in prison.
Like, what do you want me to do?
I believe in karma.
Kinda get what you deserve, yeah.
I'm interested to seeing
what it will be like now that Jen's gone.
She was the big elephant in the room,
and I think now that she's gone... [exhales deeply]
So, you're not really eating. Do you not like your salad?
Uh...it's spicy. I don't do spicy.
-Whenever I do spicy... -Spicy?
...comes out the other end spicy.
Ooh, that doesn't sound very pleasant.
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, oh.
[laughter]
***
HOSTESS: Welcome to The Cliff.
Um, I have a reservation under Angie.
***
I've got this table set up for right here.
-Oh, perfect. Thank you. -Of course. Enjoy.
***
[indistinct conversations]
***
Opa, B!
-Hi! -Look at you.
-Oh, my God. -You look gorgeous.
-Oh, my gosh. -Wow.
-Look at your glasses. -I better take them off.
-All the better to see you with. -Jeez!
-These things need... -Thank you.
...need windshield wipers, they're so big.
-They're so pretty, though. -Thank you.
-How are you? -Good to see you.
-So do you. -You're out on the town?
-No babies? -Oh, girl.
-Don't get used to this. -Don't get--I know, I know.
We're out of sweats today just for you.
Right.
Being friends with Jen Shah
introduced me to things that I would have never
known or been around, like the legal system,
the difference between federal and state charges,
and Monica.
-Well, you look amazing. -[laughs] Thank you.
We met each other a few years ago through Jen,
and since we were both picking up the pieces
of a destroyed friendship,
we figured, hey, let's do it together.
***
-Hi, Lisa. -Hi!
-How are you? -Good to see you.
-You look gorgeous. -Oh, my gosh. Hi.
-How are you? -The side Lisa hug.
-This is Monica. -Hi.
-Hi. How are you? -Nice to meet you.
-We've talked before. -Yeah!
Yeah.
LISA: I remember meeting Monica a few years ago.
She was running an errand for Jen
and meeting her at the airport
to give her something she forgot.
-You guys, this weather is sh--. -ANGIE: Isn't it?
It's so bad.
The only thing is, is, like,
she doesn't look like the same person.
This Monica looks completely different from the Monica I met.
The Monica I met had super blonde hair, fair skin.
Honestly, if she were in the Witness Protection Program
or in a police lineup,
I would not be able to pick her out.
So, Jen had fired her assistant, and I stepped in to help her.
And one night...
Jen asked me, "Do you wanna be rich?
Do you wanna make $600,000 a year?
All you have to do is put this, this, and this in your name."
I remember being so weirded out, like...
wait, what?
It was very bizarre.
And I have a friend in the Secret Service,
and I called him. -[line rings]
And he said, "Get the [bleep] away from Jen Shah.
She's going to prison."
[siren whoops]
And she was arrested two months later,
and that is how I became...
a witness with the federal government
in her trial.
***
ANGIE: Monica, can I give that to you and put it over there?
Yes. Don't put it on the floor. That's bad luck.
Here. Move your chair.
It's bad luck to put your purse on the floor, yeah.
Yeah.
I was telling Lisa I found that in New York,
and there were only six of them made.
And I was like, okay, I have to have that.
-Okay, which bag do you have? -There were only six of them.
-They just happened to get one. -Oh, my God. It's the Fendi.
-From Fendi. -Yes.
-LISA: I die. -And...
Oh, you got the chain, too. Oh, my God.
It came in from Rome. And I'm like, I...
-Oh, it's mink. -It's mink.
And I said, like, I have to have this as a keepsake...
-Oh, my gosh. -...for my daughter.
-She needs her own seat. -[laughter]
-How are you? -Good. How are you doing today?
-Good. -Hi. How are you?
-Can I get a Diet Coke? -Doing good. Yeah, absolutely.
-And then a Vida cocktail. -What can I get for you?
I will do whatever she's getting.
-Okay. -So good.
I'll just stick with the water. Thank you.
And then can I get you something, uh, to eat today?
I love the sushi nachos. I'll do that.
-Sushi nachos? Okay. -Can you do that?
-Yeah, absolutely. -As an entrée? Okay.
I'm gonna do the blackened salmon.
-Okay. -That's what I want, too.
-ANGIE: Oh, good. -Salmon as well?
Blackened salmon, please.
All right, I'll be right back with that.
Here we are. All the brunettes.
I didn't get the memo. She's curly today.
Monica's a little younger, so...
-I-- -I said, "I could be your mom."
-No. -No, you could not.
-No. -Wait, how old are you?
-I'm 38. -Okay. We cannot be her mom.
Well, I'm good.
-Are you single? -Yeah.
I am going through a divorce.
About four years into my marriage,
I found myself in what one might call
an entanglement.
That resulted in a divorce and then a wedding
because we got divorced and we got remarried,
and now we're getting a divorce again.
It's fine. Totally normal situation.
Monica's got lots of little babies
that, like, keep her running, and so she's--
-How old are your kids? -So, my youngest is 5.
Oh, you have a 5-year-old?
-And then 6, 12... -12?
-...and 17. -Oh, I have an 18-year-old.
-Is she a senior? -Yeah.
Oh, we both have--
It, like, makes me emotional now. Like, I hate it.
Oh, yeah, I know. I cry every other day.
-I'm freaking out, Lisa. -I look at him and I cry.
Oh, my gosh. I get what you're going through.
As a single mom raising four little girls on my own,
I never have any me time.
Like, you see? This is so nice, and it looks put together.
No, bitch.
I'm usually in my Christmas jammies down aisle 8
buying milk at 10:00 at night
'cause we're out 'cause I forgot.
Got a Diet Coke.
-All my favorite things. -Thank you so much.
-I'm in. I'm in. -Cheers.
-No, this is actually delicious. -Let's support the Vida brand.
Yes.
You guys are just, like, little--little besties.
-I love it. -Yeah.
-Little twins. -You need that.
But I've known Ange for a long time.
It started at Lunatic, 15 years.
I had no idea you guys knew each other...
-Oh, yeah. -...that long.
-I've known her for a long time. -Yeah, we go--we go way back.
I had no clue.
And when she told me she was meeting you, I'm like,
oh, my gosh. I never see Monica 'cause I...
I know.
...would talk to you occasionally on the phone.
-And in, like, passing. -Yeah.
I would talk to Lisa constantly
because Jen would get sick and tired of talking to her,
and she would hand me the phone, and then I'd have to be like,
"Yeah, girl. I know."
You know, like, I love culture.
Like, I grew up in New York, so when...
"I know. I know."
Do you wanna know something what I'm obsessed with right now?
Anything maritime.
All the time!
I like yachting, so I'm like...
You can literally be on the phone with her
and set it down, and two hours later come back...
I like to be on, like, super yachts.
...and she's still going.
-I have the birthday book, too. -We got a salmon here.
I'll bring it next time we hang out.
I've never talked to anyone like that in my life. [laughs]
***
This is actually delicious.
It's so good.
I'm gonna teach Lisa how to cook
some little homemade meals this year.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
-Are you sure you wanna try? -I'm gonna try.
-Yeah. -I'm going to do my best.
I've never even made eggs. Like...
Oh, my gosh. Are you serious?
Never in my life have I made eggs.
-Does John cook? -John's an amazing cook.
That's a privilege. I have to cook, so you're lucky.
***
You know, the nice thing with John is
we've been married 19 years. We're going on 20 this year.
-ANGIE: Are you serious? Wow. -Yeah.
-What are you gonna do... -Wow.
-...for your big 2-0? -We're going to Europe.
We got a sick house in Braga. It's so modern, you would die.
It is so crazy hearing them portray these perfect lives.
-Thanks for introducing us. -I know.
I'm like, I've always known Monica, but now I knowMonica.
Yes.
We've all heard things about each other thanks to Jen.
So I'm trying to walk, like, this fine line
of being open-minded and non-judgmental,
even though all their dark secrets
are very heavy on my mind.
-Thanks for meeting up. -Yay!
Bringing my two girlfriends together. Now we're a threesome.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And I wanna spend more time together.
I would love that. Let's do it.
-Well, cheers to... -Okay.
-Yeah. -...an amazing lunch
with the ladies. -Cheers!
-And thanks for meeting up. -Yay!
We'll do it again.
***
Okay, so they'll come grab a mimosa.
Yeah, and we'll have it all set and ready.
-Okay, cool. -Over here, we'll have food
coming out in just a little bit once guests arrive.
Okay. That'll be great. The menu is perfection.
-I'm excited. -You're gonna love this.
We'll head outside a little bit later
and do s'mores and have hot chocolate.
-Cute. -That's gonna be awesome.
This location is perfect. I can see the mountains.
There's fresh fallen snow everywhere.
I'm hoping we can really mend and start fresh.
-This is gonna be great. -Mm-hmm.
And I have a fun, little activity planned
for the girls in the snow later.
-Oh. -But they don't know what it is.
I want everyone to get out their aggression.
Oh. Nothing says fresh starts like an activity.
Filled with aggression, right? -Yes.
If the booze and the brunch doesn't work,
I have a little trick up my sleeve.
So, we're--we're just setting up over there.
Brought 1,500 snowballs with us.
[Heather laughs]
MAN: Two different sizes.
Balls.
Big old balls.
-That's the plan. -'Kay.
***
Oh, my gosh. That looks delicious.
A little lox-ies and the waffles.
***
Hi!
Let the party begin!
-Hi. -Hi.
-How are you? Good to see you. -I'm good. How are you?
How are you?
***
HEATHER: Check out the food.
Ooh. Everything looks fabulous. Wow.
***
Let's go outside.
***
-MEREDITH: Hello! -Aah!
Oh, look at you.
***
Oh, my God. Mary Cosby in the flesh?
The most anticipated guest of the year.
-You look fab. -Hello. Hi. Mwah. Hi.
-You look good. -You look fabulous.
You're looking good. You're looking good.
-Hi. -WHITNEY: Is this real?
Is this really Mary Cosby? Is this a hologram?
[static crackles]
Did Heather roofie me?
-Hi, Mary. -Oh, hi, Whitney.
-How are you? -Doing so good.
All Fendi-ed out?
***
I'm excited for you to meet everybody.
[singsongy] Hey.
-Hi! -Hi!
Oh, my gosh. It looks so pretty in here.
-I brought some friends. -ANGIE: Hi.
-You look fabulous. -You said bring friends,
so I brought friends.
-Hi. -Hey, Heather, surprise.
And then Monica.
Thank you.
Classic Lisa.
I tell her she can invite a friend,
and she brings the one friend
that spread the worst rumors about me
the last time we were together.
Guess what? Everybody is saying that perhaps
her and Heather were in their room
doing Barbie scissor kicks,
and then Jen beat the sh-- out of her.
But...when I said "fresh start," I meant it,
so I'm going to forge ahead.
And then, Heather, Monica.
-Hi! Nice to meet you! -Nice to meet you.
[laughter]
-How are you? -Your presence is a gift.
-Is mine my gift, too? -Yes, always.
So, to be completely honest,
Jen never said anything nice about Heather.
-You look so cute, by the way. -Grab some--thank you.
-We're both wearing Goldbergh. -Girl.
-Let's belly bump. -* Goldbergh *
But she also never said anything nice about anybody ever,
and everything that came out of her mouth was bullsh--,
so I'm gonna make my own assumptions about Heather.
Here, do you want one?
Hola!
-Hello! -Oh, look at all these people!
Serving up banana bread.
And, Mary, this is for you.
-Thank you. -Sorry for the delay.
They arrived right as I was preparing it.
Oh, mwah.
-How are you? -How are you?
Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Monica.
-Hi, Mary. How are you? -Hi, Lisa. Good. How are you?
-I don't wanna spill on your... -I actually wasn't...
Ooh, I love your coat.
Holy sh--, Mary Cosby.
***
This is a Mary Cosby coat.
Mary and I didn't really leave things bad,
but the last text message I got from Mary
wasn't exactly nice.
"Lisa, you're the biggest idiot. You're a black widow.
You are the biggest liar in Utah." Wow.
"You'll kill people with your nasty tequila.
You remind me of a witch. You evil person.
You're not interesting. You're a horrible human being."
***
Yeah, I do feel good seeing Lisa right now. I do.
And I really like her jacket.
***
Coming up...
I'm dirty and creepy because I take baths?
That was a funny joke, Meredith.
-Yeah, you did. You call-- -...got naked with your husband,
painting each other and said,
"Oh, I wonder if she's getting bacteria in her vagina"?
***
HEATHER: Mary's got the champagne.
-Ready? Oh! -[cork pops]
Whoo!
-We love it. Oh, top me off. -I'll top you off.
You guys, thank you, everyone, for coming. Gather 'round.
I have a quick announcement that I'd like to make.
Whitney and I got together,
and we, um, decided to make a fresh start.
And I want to feel this way with all of you.
We all had a really hard year.
Jen went to prison.
We were trolled relentlessly online.
Our relationships are fractured, you know?
The one thing that we share
is that we all went through it together.
So, let's leave it all at the brunch today.
We could all use a beautiful, fresh start.
***
-Thank you. -I love that.
-Cheers. -Cheers!
***
HEATHER: Yeah.
-Really? -[laughs]
Do you still have that strong attachment?
No, I think that was projected a lot by other people.
-I think I had boundaries. -No, you had--you guys had a...
-You guys had a cool something. -We had a connection.
-We had a--Yeah. -There was something.
There was an absolute always a connection,
and that's what made it so difficult
to have clarity in-- or any boundaries for me.
Like, I just didn't have any, and I felt too deep in it.
Like, if I stopped for one second,
I couldn't catch my breath, because she was a lot, you know?
-She was a lot. -Yeah, but you knew what
you were walking into, and you was willing to accept it.
-Mm-hmm. I put up with it. -And you--you liked that a lot.
You enjoyed that ride.
-I know, I know. I know. -You know what I mean?
So, how are you feeling now that she's actually gone?
I feel like a weight is lifted.
***
[sighs]
I-I felt like I couldn't be honest with Jen
with everything she had going on in her life.
The stakes were way too high.
It was not a time to talk about our friendship
and to work on boundaries.
But now that she's in prison,
I feel like I can just shut the door on it and move on.
Brooks, Henry, and your son all need to get together.
-Yeah. -Luciano is hilarious.
Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?
-Um, Luciano--how old is he? -He's 10.
***
I just wanted to pull you aside because
I feel like we've tried to find resolution within the group,
and it has not gone well for us.
I just would like to set us up for success rather than failure,
and I'm thinking maybe we could sit down one-on-one,
not in the group, and have a little conversation.
-What are you thinking? -I don't know.
Maybe next week we can get together and go for,
like, a hike or a walk or do something.
-Let's make it happen. -[glasses clink]
Wow. I did not see this coming.
But, like, let's be honest, I know she missed me.
I mean, I would miss me, too.
[indistinct conversations, laughter]
Ooh, that looks delicious.
I am a good-time marshmallow girl,
but I'm getting a little bit of carpal tunnel from the pivot.
Do you know, like, the two things I can't stand
more than anything are burnt things.
-Burnt toast. -Get that away from her.
She can't stand this! Look away, Lisa! Look away!
Look away, look away.
I can't do it all! You-- I'm gonna stick to books.
I'm getting a lot of credit today.
Okay, wait, so who here has read the book?
***
Yeah. No.
If I read books, I fall asleep sitting up.
No one's reading that book.
I'm not surprised that none of them have read the book.
They're not readers.
Heather, am I in the book? Tell me everything.
I just say that you're who you wanna be sitting next to
at a dinner party.
There's nothing small town about Lisa.
She's big city energy.
-[laughter] -I love this!
-Okay. -Big city energy!
Let me get my phone out. I gotta buy a copy.
-Aah! -[laughter]
I want a signed copy of the book from Lisa.
Oh. Oh!
"Lisa, will you sign it for me?"
-She's a star. Like, gosh. -I got you. I got you.
Like, Angie, that is exactly why you're not in the book
and never will be.
-Hi. -Hi.
-[laughter] -I just about ate it.
-That's fine. -Everybody's slipping.
This is the bartender side, but you're welcome.
Is bartending together a new path?
HEATHER: Um...
WHITNEY: I mean, that's kind of our shtick.
Yeah, we're pioneer bartenders. What can we get you?
We were always the Buzzin' Cousins, you know?
-Oh, got you. -And Buzzin' Cousins are buzzin'
because of the booze, yes.
And other substances that we shall not name.
-And then we just-- -It's legal now.
It is?
When did Special K become legal?
-I don't do Special K. -[laughs] I was joking.
I would die. I would have a heart attack, think I'm dying.
-Well.... -That's why I stay so thin.
-Everyone knows. -But you like to say I do.
You seem to insinuate that Meredith had a pill problem.
Jen had said that when we were in Zion,
Meredith was on something with Heather.
-Okay. -She told me that you two
were both ketamine or something.
I did find out that you were the root of that rumor,
but that's irrelevant. -I was not.
What is Meredith talking about right now?
Out of nowhere, I'm being accused
of starting the rumor about Meredith doing ketamine?
The first time I heard that was in New York,
and Lisa's the one that said it.
What I do know is you have plenty to say
in the press about me, and you continue to talk about me.
-Wait, pause. -And if it was one incident
in and of itself, I wouldn't really care, but...
What have I done? I was making a joke.
When did Special K become legal?
[slowed down voice] Special K become legal?
But now we've just ascended straight
into the underworld of Special K.
Like, if this is a group chat,
it's time for Heather to leave the conversation.
LISA: Wait, what's happening?
You know I'll own it if I said that you did that.
I have never said that you've done ketamine.
Whitney, I don't believe that you own the things you say.
Because we left New York, I thought
we were in a neutral, peaceful zone,
and the next thing I'm seeing is that
I'm, like, dirty and gross because--
and creepy because I take baths?
That was a funny joke, Meredith.
No, it was a dig on my marriage and a dig on my bathtub...
-It's not a dig on that. -...like I have a dirty house.
WHITNEY: I would never assume that Meredith has a dirty house.
I don't even know where you're living right now.
I don't know what vacation rental you're staying in.
***
I'd assume she'd wrap everything in plastic
so that she gets her deposit back at the end of the lease.
My bathtub is clean. Maybe yours isn't.
-Mine is very clean. -Mm-kay.
Meredith, I take baths all the time,
but I prefer to take my baths alone, which is true.
Like, why are you judging me for wanting to take a bath alone?
It is my right to prefer to take a bathtub alone.
It wasn't about her and Seth.
It's about the fact that they sit in a tub to clean.
Like, that is creepy to me.
I don't like to bathe with people.
That's a shady joke.
It really irritates me that Whitney can be like...
[imitating Whitney] "Ah, I was just being shady."
[normal voice] So now you can take whatever you want,
twist it to benefit you so you don't have
to take accountability. Okay, got it.
-Yeah, you did with... -...got naked with your husband
painting each other and said,
"Oh, I wonder if she's getting bacteria in her vagina"?
***
Did I make jokes when you got naked with your husband
painting each other and said,
"Oh, I wonder if she's getting bacteria in her vagina"?
Meredith, I know that you won't get
in a bath that's not immaculate.
You can probably eat a dinner off of your bathtub.
Okay? I'm sorry that offended you,
but what I need to get off my chest is
I need to trust that you're going to let this go
and not hold a grudge.
-If we say we forget-- -I don't hold a grudge, Whitney.
-If we say we for-- -You say I hold a grudge,
-Whitney. -But you do.
No, I don't. I don't hold grudges, Whitney. I don't.
***
So, what do we need to do to, like, promise each other
or take a step forward so we don't come back here?
'Cause we don't wanna lose brain cells over this.
-Save your brain cells. -Losing brain cells.
Save your brain cells.
This is, like, stupid conversation.
-Save your brain cells. -Okay.
I am nervous to move forward with you
'cause I feel like I don't trust you.
I certainly don't trust you.
So, what do you want from this?
I guess I'll see how things unfold
to decide what I do and do not believe.
-Right now I'm digesting it all. -Okay.
***
Oh, my God.
I am never going to live down creepy bathtub.
She'll be bringing this up five years from now.
I mean, it's just always something.
Okay, you guys, are you ready
for the next portion of activity?
It is involving snow, and it is outside.
No, I'm not doing that.
***
Everybody, gather in.
***
Oh, sh--.
So this is the fresh powder portion of the program.
This is your last chance
to take out any hurt feelings, any resentment, any anger.
Leave it all on the field right now.
-'Kay. -Oh, my God.
[amplified voice] When I blow the whistle,
you will run to your snowballs bucket.
You can throw from wherever to whomever
until we all run out of snowballs.
Any questions?
Where's Mary?
***
Mary's like, "I didn't sign up for this.
I don't want any in my face."
The only snowballs I like
are the ones that are in the gas station.
-Are they soft? No. -No.
They come in a 2-pack. They're pink.
They're cream-filled. They've got coconut on top.
They're like ice balls.
Not these things that are made of ice.
All right, ladies. Ready?
HEATHER: Ready!
[whistle toots]
Okay.
[screaming]
Girl!
[laughs]
I like you. Whoo!
I'm done.
[echoing gasp]
-Whoops! -[wind blowing loudly]
Let's go!
[screaming]
Angie, oh, my God!
***
Aah!
Meredith!
[screams]
WHITNEY: Leave the past in the past!
We'll just wipe that grudge right away.
[laughter]
[echoing wail]
I feel better already.
***
-[screaming] -I got aggression!
I got aggression!
Aah!
Aah! Oh, my God.
-Heather! -Aah!
What is going on?
-Like, are they having fun? -[whooping]
-Come on! -Don't mess with us!
***
Aah! Oh!
-Oh! That... -Ouch!
These hurt!
ANGIE: My hair!
Aah!
[screaming]
Like "Lord of the Flies,"
which is probably a book that they haven't read either.
Stop! Stop!
Aah!
[screaming]
ANGIE: My hair!
***
HEATHER: For three years, we were tormented...
I will not deal with lies.
We wanna talk in truth, I'm all for it.
-...brutalized... -You exploited my vagina!
...and lived in fear.
You want me to go there with husband?
Don't [bleep] with me.
-[clock ticking] -And it's time to end it.
[bell tolls]
This season on
"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City"...
-Aah! -[cheering]
-[pop] -Opa!
Aah! Holy sh--!
It was our anniversary.
I just asked, "Do you still want to do this?"
He's like, "Do you?" And I was like, "I don't know."
To see your wedding ring in the drawer every day,
that hurts me.
I was married in the temple, and then I was ex-communicated.
I ----ed my [bleep] for 18 months.
***
What the frick's the rumor with Angie K.?
-You're not even curious at all. -I don't want to hear any of it.
I stood up for our family unit.
I don't like the way you treat women and talk about women.
Wake up, Bobblehead.
Well, it feels like you two must be talking a lot of sh--
about me-- -Heather, shut the [bleep] up.
Oh, you want me to shut the [bleep] up?
-Do you have a mute button? -No, I don't.
I'm on "Play" all the time.
Who's the ----ing liar? You're lying, or you're lying.
I'm getting really ----ing pissed off!
Heather, you're out of control.
She's saying you use your businesses to wash your money.
You are a ----ing bully and a ----ing troll!
-[clock ticking] -Your time is up.
[bell tolls]
Pack...your bags...and go.
***
-Do you think I look inbred? -I do.
