Real Housewives of Orange County Ep 10 Skunk in the Barnyard recap / review

Above is my video recap and below is a short written recap. 


There are a couple of story lines this episode.  Vickie and Brooks went to Mexico to her Condo.  We get the joy of hearing Vickie talk about Sex and we get to see pixeled nudity of both of them during a couples massage.  TADA!  Shannon and David are scheduled to come join then but that won't happen until next episode.

Tamra even has a mini storyline.  For some reason she decided they (herself and Eddie) need a mechanical baby despite the fact that she has raised 4 children already.  Now I know why housewives go broke, they buy needless junk to stay in front of the camera. 

But let's get to the main storyline. The episode opens with the Shannon at Tamra's house. Shannon is very upset about David's email.  While she is sniffing her phone beeps and she is sure it is just her kids goofing off.  Instead it was David (her husband) saying that he heard that Heather knows about the email and was gossiping about it with friends.  Tamra immediately says that she has not said a thing to Heather and Shannon believes her completely.

While this is happening David comes home and apologizes.  We see them the next day where Shannon takes cheap shots of him in front of their kids and he responds in kind.  It is awful to watch.  I want to shake them both and tell them to let some of this stuff go. 

Shannon has given it some thought and she is sure that Tamra said something to Heather about the email but she feels like she needs confirmation from Heather.  They have not seen each other since Christmas Eve where Shannon and Heather got into a huge fight.  Shannon shows up at Heather's house to ask (grill) her about where Heather heard about the email.  Heather thinks Shannon is there to apologize.  Let's just say that things go progressively downhill  until Heather asks Shannon to leave because her kids are in the house and she doesn't want to fight in front of them.  Shannon says that these rumors are hurting her kids.

Can we address the fact that Shannon is on a reality show but it so concerned about her kids hearing rumors when she fights in front of them all the time and soon after this was filmed the footage was internationally aired?  I really think that RHOC was a horrible idea for Shannon. 

Shannon has a holistic essence oil lady over to hang out with Lizzie and Danielle.  We didn't hear much about oils but we did hear more about Heather.  Shannon retells the story and somehow it transforms into Heather calling her an alcoholic rather than Heather repeating what Tamra told her.  Lizzie and Danielle seem skeptical of the story, that there must be more than was told.  Danielle makes a joke about drinking vodka and Shannon calls her judgmental. Shannon is just winning friends left and right.  Lizzie summarizes the situation well by saying in an interview that Shannon is so hurt that she is lashing out.

Heather and Terry meet up with Lizzie where they discuss the fight.  Heather says that she did text Shannon after the fight that she was sorry that Shannon is hurting but that her problem is not with Heather.  Shannon meets up with Tamra and Tamra admits she lied.  She did talk to Heather but only to tell Heather to back off Shannon because Shannon is having a tough time.  Turns out that Whatever Heather knew was pretty vague.  She knew Shannon was upset about an email that David sent her and that they are fighting.  I am pretty sure Heather already knew about the fighting given that they are fighting all the time. 

Thoughts?
