Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6 Episode 4 Recap: Angie Tries To Take Down Lisa
Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 4. Last week, Angie’s and Bronwyn’s experiences with their parents couldn’t have been more different. Bronwyn’s mom had a knack for making her feel less than, while Angie’s dad was extremely supportive. Meanwhile, Lisa put together a “clarity luncheon” to clear up any misconceptions about her lawsuits. However, nothing was cleared up. Instead, Lisa went at it with Bronwyn and Whitney. Will Lisa be able to make amends with either of them? Here’s exactly what went down in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 4: “Petty Little Liars.”
What happened in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 4?
The clarity lunch wrapped up with Lisa toasting to her friends. But her war with Angie was just beginning. The two had a text-off regarding Lisa’s haircare line and the dustiness of Angie’s salon. This prompted Angie to pull out the big guns and warn Meredith of Lisa’s shady ways. While that drama unfolded, Mary recalled the drama her mom caused after her grandmother passed away. And Bronwyn’s issues with her mom continued as she learned how to navigate her constant judgement of her.
Angie started a haircare war with Lisa
We kicked off with Whitney running away from Lisa to put herself in a timeout. So, Lisa shifted her bullseye to Angie. The Jen Shah comment at the RV park wasn’t going to fly with her. Lisa went after Angie’s business and started challenging the real number of salons that she owned.
Angie deduced in her confessional, “I finally figured Lisa’s tactic out. She lies to deflect and make someone else the target. And everyone’s tired of it.” Angie quipped to Lisa, “You do French fries; I do franchise.” Mary was perplexed at Angie’s comment until Heather explained it to her. Then Mary said, “Oooh, that was good.”
But Angie kept going. She spilled the tea she had invested in Lisa’s son’s “Fresh Wolf” haircare line and put the product in her salons even though it really belonged in Walmart. In her confessional, Lisa said, “This is ridiculous at this point. Like, now you’re talking about my kids’ brand and whether it’s an A-list or a C-list? And the fact that you’re going this low yet again? Like, we’re at a point of no return.”
Heather wanted to remind everyone she was the Carrie Bradshaw of the group and summed up the whole fight. And she had her thoughts on Lisa as well. Heather said, “You are a fearless, strong person. When you’re on someone’s side, you feel invincible. But when you’re against somebody, you feel completely vulnerable.”
Lisa admitted she was vulnerable too, but everyone wondered why she didn’t show it. So, Lisa went around the table and told Angie, Heather, and Bronwyn how she felt. Minus Whitney, of course. Then Lisa closed things out with a toast. However, things weren’t quite resolved just yet.
Lisa and Bronwyn put a pause on going low
What’s old is new again as several classic RHOSLC scenes resurfaced. Mary had met up with Heather for lunch and had likened tequila to having a “hospital taste.” Oh, the good ol’ days of Mary telling Jen Shah, “You smell like hospital!” And Whitney dusted off her old stripper pole. She was ready to be gossip fodder for the moms picking up their kids in the carpool line once again.
And speaking of old, was it possible for Bronwyn and Lisa to get their old friendship back? Bronwyn, who is about as good a driver as John Barlow, haphazardly parked her SUV next to the curb. She hopped out and headed into the lion’s den, Premiere Vida Tequila Lounge.
The chit-chat was minimal as she and Lisa got right down to business. Bronwyn still had unresolved issues from the Season 5 reunion, such as Lisa talking about her daughter’s estranged family. She said, “I think it’s just a race to the bottom where we are right now.”
What they both agreed on was they needed to be accountable for all the sh*t talking they said about one another. When Lisa mentioned she didn’t like what Bronwyn said about John, Bronwyn put it into perspective. She said, “Me saying ‘maybe John is stressed’ isn’t the same as you saying, ‘I suck d*ck for clothes.’” Lisa quickly noted, “I don’t think you’re a whore.” I love this show.
Things ended surprisingly well, with the two apologizing and promising family was off limits. But how long would this reconciliation last?
Mary opened up about her mother on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Mary met up with her cousin Big Joe to check out her remodeled church. As they walked around, Mary talked about her mother. She said, “For some reason my mom thought she was supposed to take everything over.” Mary then explained how her grandmother had told both her and her mother that Mary was going to run the church. But once her grandmother passed, Mary claimed her mom tried to take over.
In her confessional, Mary said, “My mom didn’t want to speak with me. And I gave her what she wanted.” She told Big Joe that when her mom passed, it felt like “a chapter that’s closed.” It was a shocking and sad story and just another complex layer in Mary’s very full life.
On a less serious note, Heather met up with Angie at one of her salons. Angie had let her cosmetology license expire and wanted to practice giving Heather a perm. Now that’s a “Good Time Girl” hairstyle! But she had some tea for Heather as well.
Lisa’s assistant had come by to take all the Fresh Wolf product off their hands. Then Lisa texted Angie she sent her $600 and added, “I can send my cleaners to help you too. Sorry your salon is so dusty.”
Angie responded, “You should probably have sent the $600 to other people that are claiming that you owe them money … And my salon is not dusty. Your products are though because they’ve been sitting here for two years.” Lisa clapped back, “Well at least I don’t have to borrow money to take vacations and pay it back after using a card I should’ve never used to begin with.”
Heather was confused because she thought everything was resolved between them. Clearly it wasn’t.
Meredith is suspicious of Angie’s warning about Lisa
Bronwyn then had another awkward scene with her mother. Her mom was not a fan of Gwen’s boyfriend living with them and predicted that Gwen would follow her mother’s example and be a young mom too.
In her confessional, Bronwyn said, “Having my mom not only here but judging how I try to parent Gwen is really bringing up for me just how much shame I felt then and how much shame I maybe still feel. She has this idea of what a perfect Mormon family looks like, and I’m never going to fit into that for her.”
She added, “So many times over the years I’ve thought, ‘Maybe I don’t understand, maybe she didn’t mean this, maybe she would do it differently now.’ But I didn’t misunderstand. My mom still thinks twenty years ago when I was pregnant that the person who was most hurt was her.”
Meanwhile, Angie and Meredith met up for some iced tea and hibiscus matcha. But Angie had an agenda, and that was to warn Meredith about Lisa. She said, “In the past … Lisa was calling me and encouraging me to dig up information about family members and relatives of yours … To intimidate so you’d stop coming at me.”
None of this made sense to Meredith considering the source. She warned Angie she was going to follow up with Lisa. Angie stated, “Yeah, I’m ok with that. Because she said it. Word for word.” It’s going to be another doozy next week!
Stacey Rusch Shares the Real Reason She & Her Husband Got Back Together: "Crazy as It Sounds..."
In the months since viewers last saw Stacey Rusch on The Real Housewives of Potomac, there have been some major developments in her love life — including a reconciliation with her ex-husband, Thiemo Rusch.
"As crazy as it sounds, I am back with my husband," Stacey revealed to a producer on the supersized RHOP Season 10 premiere. "Do you see this glow? I'm really happy."
On the heels of her breakup with Thomas Anthony "TJ" Jones, which she previously announced at the Season 9 reunion, Stacey went on to detail exactly how she and Thiemo rekindled their old flame. As she told it, they got back together during a family Christmas vacation to Mexico that they decided to take "for the sake of" their 9-year-old daughter, Arabella, aka Bella. At the time, they had already begun legal proceedings to end their 16-year marriage.
"We were notified that we were, in fact, officially divorced while we were on vacation," Stacey recalled in an Episode 1 confessional. "We just looked at each other. I think we both knew it wasn't the end of us. We had to give each other another try." (Though Ashley Darby later questioned if Stacey and Thiemo ever actually legally ended their marriage, citing a lack of public records, she insisted that they were, indeed, "absolutely divorced.")
Stacey continued, "And now that the divorce is final and we found our way back to each other, we're going with the flow right now. And the flow feels good."
Echoing that sentiment, she later concluded, "It feels good to be back together. And we have just fallen right back into the step of things."
Inside Stacey Rusch's date night with ex-husband, Thiemo Rusch, on RHOP
During RHOP's Oct. 5 episode, Stacey took viewers inside her and Thiemo's date night at a DMV Indian restaurant, explaining that they were "prioritizing" one-on-one time in their romance. She also gushed that she loved the fact he sends her "cute" e-invites "because it means this time is for us."
"We've just always prioritized Bella," Stacey explained. "And I think saying that we didn't necessarily need a date night, we would rather have a family night, and not making sure that we had our own personal time, no wonder our relationship deteriorated."
Thiemo, for his part, explained that he started sending Stacey date night e-invites because calling to ask her out felt "kind of strange." Ultimately, he, too, thought it was important to have time just for them with "no distractions, no friends, no Bella."
Stacey, meanwhile, predicted that everyone would say they're "crazy" for getting back together and asked Thiemo if he was "prepared" to face the criticism.
