The problem with a yacht is that these ladies can’t really escape when the fighting starts. Britani is feeling the wrath of Meredith when she brings up a rumor about Seth and a mistress. But it’s what happens in the air that drives this episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Meredith allegedly unleashes on Britani (with the help of her minion, Lisa) on the plane ride home and now the group is even more divided…
In an attempt to bring some Zen to the group, Captain Jason leads Heather, Angie, Whitney, and Britani in a yoga session. But Britani is finding it hard to stay calm after the night she had with Meredith. In the meantime, Meredith talks to Lisa about what went down.
She calls Britani disgusting and likens her to the Tin Man since she, too, apparently does not have a brain. Why would she ever repeat a TikTok rumor and think it would end well? Meredith is also angry with Whitney, who saw this video, yet chose not to give Meredith a heads up sooner.
Because she knows just how angry Meredith is at Britani, Bronwyn decides to add fuel to the fire. She brings Uni, the stuffed unicorn gifted to Britani from Jared, to Meredith’s room and together they decide to see if Uni can float. Since Meredith cannot throw Britani overboard, the stuffy is the next best thing.
Bronwyn insists that in order to pull this off, they need to be in costume…naturally. The costumes do the opposite of make them incognito, considering they are wearing blow up animal suits that make them stick out like sore thumbs. However, it does not stop them from chucking Uni into the sea.
Over breakfast, Meredith explains that her bigger issue is with Whitney, despite “pea brain” Britani bringing the information to her attention. Meredith feels like Whitney co-signed watching the videos claiming Seth’s infidelity. Britani tries to direct Meredith’s anger back on her and claims she brought up the rumor out of “kindness,” but no one buys her story.
As they dock, Britani and Meredith bicker over who is more filled with hate. Bronwyn tries to help Britani, but Meredith claims if anyone tries to support Britani, she will be done with them. How can Meredith move on from Lisa digging up dirt on her family but carry on about Britani?
The group begins to pack up, but Britani realizes she can’t find her unicorn. Meredith gifts Captain Jason with her captain’s cap and Heather thanks the crew with a fat tip envelope. But before they can head out, a member of the crew runs back out with Uni. Britani realizes it is wet and Bronwyn and Meredith admit that they threw him overboard. Bronwyn claims it was a joke, but Britani thinks it’s just plain cruel.
Here is where the episode turns. Before they even got on the plane, Meredith was apparently “completely out of her mind.” She was yelling because Britani talked about her marriage and was making a scene at the airport (and yet we have no footage?).
Once on the plane, Britani was seated right in front of Meredith. Whitney explains that Meredith was talking so loudly about Britani that the entire first class could hear…so loudly that Britani could hear Meredith through her headphones.
Meredith and Britani are telling two very different stories about the plane ride, but it seems like most of the women agree that Britani melted into a puddle of tears after withstanding Meredith taunting her the entire flight. Meredith apparently took her anger with Britani too far, but Meredith points out that she was not arrested by an air marshal so it must not have been THAT bad. We needed Andy and a camera on that plane!
Back in SLC, Lisa, while eating her infamous french fries, talks a mile a minute to John about what happened on the plane. She has never seen Meredith that upset.
Heather meets with a clearly shaken Britani, who is still reeling from the events that occurred at the end of the trip. Heather claims that there are no circumstances to justify the way she was treated by Meredith. Heather thinks that Meredith and Lisa feed off of each other and wishes that Britani woke her up during the flight. Britani talks about hair pulling and Meredith shaking her seat. When Heather DID wake up, Meredith and Lisa supposedly came at her for defending Britani.
Britani can’t believe that Lisa would turn on her, especially since she has defended her in the past when no one else has. The “ultimate betrayal” is Lisa egging Meredith on and Britani feels broken after all that occurred. Heather brought Britani into this group and feels bad because Lisa and Meredith have clearly taken it too far.
Whitney and Bronwyn get together to talk about the infamous flight. Whitney refers to Meredith as unhinged and shares that Lisa was aiding the rage that was spewed by Meredith. Bronwyn points out that this happened on a commercial flight, yet there is no video footage, a thought I have to agree with!
Bronwyn goes on to explain that perhaps Todd AND Meredith need a reminder of flight etiquette. Bronwyn is trying to get in front of a recent Twitter rumor. Someone snapped a picture of Todd on a plane looking at other women…who are not his wife. When Bronwyn asked Todd about this, he said, “ask your friends-they love to gossip.” Not, “I’m sorry?”
The biggest shocker however came when Bronwyn admitted she kicked Todd out of their house for the night. “I told Todd he needed to stay at a hotel that night,” confessed Bronwyn in her confessional. Go girl!
Bronwyn then expresses interest in an open marriage and claims she wants to evolve with Todd. If he told her he wanted to sleep with other people with her or without her, she would prefer that over secret cheating. However, there is no formal agreement in their marriage.
Whitney opens up about her friends who have different marital agreements. She explains that she is not in an open marriage, but she brings anything she thinks to Justin. There is nothing behind each other’s backs. Life is meant to be lived, but the ladies talk about how things need to work, especially with older husbands. They have to remain a partnership and communicate wants and needs.
Angie takes some time to chat with her daughter, Elektra, about their Greek heritage. Angie is realizing that her daughter connects more with her husband’s side of the family, but wants Elektra to always remember her roots. Angie discusses her desire for dual citizenship, but Elektra seems disinterested in her mom’s Greek chatter.
Heather waits for over an hour for Lisa to roll up and Lisa does not even apologize for being late. Lisa refers to the flight home as “a lot.” Heather wonders how it escalated to Britani not wanting to be around Lisa. All Lisa claims she did was ask Britani for the TikTok video to deescalate the situation. Heather points out that it seemed like a gang-up on Britani, but Lisa denies this. Meredith was yelling at Lisa about the video the whole time and Lisa states that if there was a problem, someone should have stepped in.
Lisa claims she was “preserving her peace” in not helping Britani once they landed. Lisa basically says that Britani deserved it on the plane. Lisa refuses to admit to bullying Britani and reminds Heather that she cannot control Meredith.
Heather is shocked to hear Lisa say she did nothing wrong. Lisa just wants Britani to take accountability (hello pot, meet kettle). Lisa claims she has tried to be nice to Britani in the past, but when it comes to Meredith and her marriage, Lisa draws the line.
Heather calls BS. She saw what happened on the plane and she is sick of Lisa trying to change the reality of what went down. Britani is scared to be around Lisa and Meredith now, but Lisa is not backing down.
Mary sits down with Meredith and tries to get to the bottom of what happened on the airplane. Mary reminds Meredith that she was there and so she doesn’t *think* anything happened, she knows what happened. Meredith claims the reality is she “vented” to a friend and everything she said to Lisa are all things she said to Britani. Mary tells Meredith that she feels concerned because it went on longer than Meredith is admitting to.
Why is Meredith coming up with a different story than what really happened? Mary claims that every time she woke up, she heard Meredith. Meredith says that she was in her feelings, but Mary wants Meredith to simply remember what happened…correctly.
Mary states that she was concerned about Meredith’s behavior and wants her to take some accountability. Meredith calls it a “shame” that Britani heard the venting, but she firmly believes that Whitney got into Mary’s ear about the flight. Meredith refers to this drama as a “big nothing sandwich,” but if Meredith doesn’t apologize, who knows where this is going?
