Hit the elevator? - Yeah. Can you reach it?
[thud] - Ow!
- Ooh! I'm so--oh. - [grimaces, chuckles]
I can't believe Max and Nicky
are off to college. We're losing 50% of our kids.
- 50% more to go. - [laughs]
[pins clatter] [both chuckle]
- We'll take it. - Jennifer's a friend
that I've had for many years.
And then she started coming to CUT Fitness.
We got bad news.
Because of the economy, because of COVID,
I just decided to close my doors.
- You're closing CUT? - Yeah.
You know, the closing of CUT,
does that mean you're gonna close the deal
and get married? - Oh, gosh.
[laughs]
You don't think Will would mind
if I put on his jacket just for a little moment?
Stop it.
I've heard that Jenn was not faithful to her husband.
- I am. - You're not funny.
- Mm-hmm. - For two and a half years,
any podcast, anyone who would interview her,
Tamra would come up with new falsehoods about me.
She's a self-centered person
that only gives a [BLEEP] about herself.
You need to have a conversation with her.
I think you need to tell her exactly how you feel.
- She should hear that. - But I feel like...
- Oh, is this me? - She's only gonna--
We have a history, amiga. Let's get together
and start talkin' through it.
[upbeat music]
In Orange County, I call the shots,
and it's always tequila.
I live my life in HD.
Sharp, bright, and more focused than ever.
If you want to waste my time,
at least hand me a taco.

- Hi! - Hi. How are you?
I'm good. How are you?
Good to see you. - Good. You too.
- Here, you guys, some menus. - Oh, thank you.
- Thank you. - And then our drink menu
is on the back. - Thank you.
- Oh, well, that's... - Enjoy.
That's what we want.
Maybe we should wait on Gina.
It might be a while.
- Oh. Oh, Gina-- - No, I'm just kidding.
Does she run late all the time?
Gina? Okay.
Well, she can't run late for yoga.
- No, she-- - She's always on time
for class. - So how did you think
the yoga went? - I-it--
that was our first event, so-- - Yeah, yeah.
And there were so many people that I had not met.
Were these people experienced yogis?
Were they brand-new like Shannon?
She's, like, on her mat... - Yeah.
- Falling down. - Well, you know what?
That could have been the hundredth time she did yoga
and she still would have fallen down.
And she'd still be like that. Okay.
I thought it went well. I thought everybody was very--
Excuse me, for interrupting, ladies.
How we doing tonight? - Very good.
Awesome. What are we drinking?
I'll just do a glass of champagne.
Champagne. And for you, Miss?
I'm gonna do an espresso martini.
- You got it. - Can I get
a Diet Coke too, please? - Ooh, I want
a Diet Coke as well. - Diet Coke? Yeah, you got it.
- Oh. Did you just do that? - [laughs]
I always order a drink and a Diet Coke.
I've never met anybody else who does that.
That's because you're from Oklahoma
and I'm from Ohio. That's why we do
stuff like that. - Oh, my gosh.
I don't know if it's a Midwest thing,
but Jenn is easy to talk to.
I think she's interesting. I think she's warm.
There is something you can't describe
about somebody who was, like, raised in a small town.
There is an ease. And I feel that with Emily.
I guess that's the yoga.
Yoga does that to people. Makes them very Zen.
Maybe I should do yoga. [chuckles]
- Cheers. Which one... - Cheers.
Are you starting with? Diet Coke or drink?
Hi.
Hi, hi, hi, hi. - You look gorgeous.
- Thank you. - Hi.
Hi, honey. Good to see you, sweetheart.
What do you recommend? Hi.
Where should I sit? Here? There? Everywhere?
- Wherever you like. - Are we hungry?
Um, maybe a charcuterie board?
- Yeah. - Yeah?
We'll do a charcuterie board. - Charcuterie.
Could I get you a drink? - Um, do you have
any mocktails? - Yeah. Absolutely.
Like, a skinny, spicy margarita?
- Virgin, right? - Yeah. Please.
I stopped drinking,
which helped me, like, lose a lot of weight
and look great, but also, like, mentally,
I think it's really much better for me.
Have you ever seen her shmammered?
- No. - Shmammered's not good for me,
Jenn. - No?
So I am California sober.
We don't drink,
but we still dabble in the marijuana.
- You got it. - Thank you.
- She's a virgin. - Yeah.
She's not having pre-marital sex.
No, I'm having post-marital divorce sex.
- And then--yeah. - And lots of it.
When I met Ryan,
I was just in a marriage that was dying...
- Mm-hmm. - And just having
this, like, excitement about somebody
that I shouldn't have.
Like, we had been sleeping in separate rooms
for two years.
I'm gonna put the cauliflower here.
Look, I'm drinking two drinks at the same time.
Watch.
- One... two. - I love it.
- I don't-- - This is the new Emily.
- The charcuterie board here. - Oh, I brought my...
- Thank you. - Fun little thing.
And so I look back at it, you guys,
and I think all those kids I was fostering,
all those animals I was fostering--
I think I was always looking for, like, something to, like--
Something to love and to love you back.
Initially, my ex-husband, Will, did blame me
for ending our marriage.
He was pissed.
But then just two weeks ago, we had a conversation,
and he said, "I'm sorry."
And he said, "I don't want you to feel bad anymore.
I don't want you to blame yourself anymore."
I'll do one more. - Espresso martini?
That was excellent, excellent--thank you.
- She'll do another! - She'll have another.
Did you want me to get rid of this one?
Yeah, thank you.
For him to give me an apology
and to tell me it's not my burden to bear
and for him to take ownership of where we were falling apart
was the greatest conversation, as sad as that is,
and the most real conversation I've ever had with Will.
Did you do therapy?
Mm-mm. We didn't ever--
we would do this, like, marriage thing at church.
I-it was always, like, the elbow.
Like, "Are you listening?" Like, "Are you listening?"
And then I meet Ryan.
Everything that was chipping away,
he was feeding.
- Mm-hmm. - You know? So...
- Get to the part where you... - It sounds like you--
- And--what's his name? - Ryan.
Have sex. [chuckles]
Truly, you guys, I would tell you.
I never even held his hand.
Wait a minute, so you didn't have--
'cause I hear... - Never.
That you had an affair.
- I did. - But that's not an affair.
If Travis is in another room
talking all night long to another girl.
- Oh, he better----ing not. - Yeah. No, I mean--
I see how it happens.
I don't want to judge Jenn,
but, obviously, I am not pro-cheating.
I was part of one, you know?
And I see how that happened.
But at least when you're on my side,
you get to walk around with your head held high,
you know?
I have so many more questions.
I'm just, like, genuinely curious.
Like--and to me... - Oh. Hold on.
Relationships are really interesting.
Okay, real quick,
I want to just hear, your party...
Oh, yes! Oh, my God. Okay.
I'm really excited. - So all these ladies
that I met at the retreat are coming.
Yeah. All the ladies are coming.
- Grew up on boats. - Gina, do you know
that I grew up on boats? - That'll be fun.
We want to come.
It's gonna be sort of in the spirit
of the flamingo. - I love that.
So I want everybody to wear pink.
Do you have flamingo games?

I got the bamboo kind.
They're better for the environment.
Microfridge. It's like a microwave

Hello? - Hi.
I just got a call from Shannon.
How do you feel about meeting her?
Um, I think I'm a little bit nervous.
She needs to be able to listen to me
and understand where I'm coming from.
I was there for her.
I-I don't get it.
I do want to make things better.
I don't want it to be, like, weird
when I'm around her.
Do I think that we can fall
back into the friendship we had for years?
I don't know. - [exhales]
Man, you guys have--you are--
have such different perspectives
on this friendship, it's, like, insane.
It's-it's crazy. - Really?
Yeah. I honestly don't know
how Tamra and Shannon come back together
when they really both feel
that they are 100% correct.
I'm in valet, so I'll talk to you when--
I'll call you afterwards.
Okay. I'll talk to you after.
- Okay. Bye. - Okay. Love you, bye.
Logic dictates that that actually can't be true.
So I don't see either of them
budging towards center.

I mean, I've heard that you've told people
that you're hurt. And I-I get it.
Um, and-and I am too--
But do you get it? It didn't sound...
- No. - Like you got it.
Well, no, I-I really don't.
That's why I'm excited to have this conversation.
Yeah.
As you know, I've been a very good friend to you
for many, many, many years. - As I have.
Ish.
I was always there for you.
Being always there for you was exhausting.
And then when it came down to it,
my life was----ing crumbling.
Tamra, I know that you had things going on in your life.
We talked about how Simon
started chemotherapy. - Right.
And you were bringing him food.
And you didn't want Eddie to know
because we had conversations. - Yes.
Yeah, we did. And then... - And I was there for you.
They stopped. Then they stopped.
- When-when you posted... - No, I had not heard
from you-- - That I was a fake friend,
saying, "Fake friends are like shadows in the dark."
Did you ever think to pick up the phone and say,
"Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I don't know why you feel that way"?
Why didn't you call me?
Because I said-- Tamra, you start--
You-you started--it--you--oh.
You started attacking me publicly, Tamra.
- Because you did-- - And said that I
was a fake friend. - Well, you are a fake friend.
I said you ghosted me. You did.
I was checking in with you, Tamra.
I'll give you that you did a couple times.
I will give you that. - All right.
But anything more than that, you didn't, Shannon.
I don't think Shannon completely understands.
Early on, when I told her what was going on,
she recommended a doctor for Simon.
But I needed her emotionally more than ever.
And I really don't think that you get it.
And then all the sudden,
I didn't hear from her at all.
It was really difficult for me,
'cause I felt I was losing my best friend.
I don't think you understand it.
I don't think you get how much you--
- I 100% get it. - I don't think you get
how much you can hurt people, Tamra.
You've taken the step of labeling me
with very character-damning labels
like "neurotic," "crazy," "drunk."
Do you think Shannon has a drinking problem?
Yes. The biggest mistakes I ever did
was really stick up for her.
- So she's a user? - And--100%.
I remember when you and David were still married.
And you said, "David wants me to stop drinking."
I said, "Then stop drinking."
You just told me-- - You're crossing a line.
- No, I'm not crossing a line. - You are crossing a line.
You are bringing up a subject
that I didn't even want to touch.
Excuse me, can I have more water?
And maybe I'll do, um...
A Belvedere soda with a couple limes.
- Of course. - Thank you.
Do you wanna do another glass of champagne?
- I'm good. - Okay.
Thanks.
Shannon...
I don't know where we go from here.
How about this?
Because it's--this is a lot for me to process.
Let's move forward and see
if there's a way that we can repair.
Okay.
Well, who knows what the future holds.
Okay.
'Kay? both: All right.
That's-that's a positive way to end things.
- Okay. Okay. - Okay.

Either I can't get somebody somewhere,
or I forget about a practice.
Oh!
Or I burn something in the oven.

He just did that. - [chuckles]
I mean, we run a pretty crazy household.

your tooth out?
Where's your tooth?
And I would not have it any other way.
Somebody in this kitchen
passed their driver's test today.
So I'm stressing, right? - Of course.
And then I'm texting Will on the way,
"This is a waste of my time.
He's not even, you know--" - He's not ready. Yeah.
And Will's like, "He better pass." [chuckles]
And then-- - No pressure.
No pressure from your parents.
- Yeah. - And then--
- Lot of support. - And then I turn the corner,
and he comes out and he's like...
- Did it. - [chuckles] He was like this.
- Well done. - Nice going.
He's officially a permit driver.
Ryan and I were dating almost a year
before I was comfortable with him being around the kids.
It has crossed my mind,
do they think this is the guy who came in
and broke up my mom and dad?
He won't eat that. - Let's see.
- What is it? - Chips and cheese with meat.
- [chuckles] I told you. - No?
The fact that it has gone so easy
and so seamless is truly such a blessing.
- Come try it. - Because if Ryan
didn't blend with my kids, there is no Ryan.
Try that and tell me if you want it hotter.
- What? - You're gonna not complain.
- Good. - Good? 'Kay.
Will and I were a foster family
for lots of kids because it was so important for me
for my kids to know not everybody grows up
in this bubble in Orange County.
And I want you to know that there's other kids
that are without or have need and we can help.
- How about-- - They say for every grade?
- Tomorrow... - Just eighth and seventh.
- We all get... - Okay, seventh and eighth.

You need to trim up the sides.
- I wanna grow my hair out. - Yeah, but I'll have--
- Your hair is grown out. - Mom, he wants
to grow it out. - More out.
Well, you just-- He just shaved it.
What was your hair like
when Mommy first got to meet you?
Do you remember? - No.
His hair was in all kinds of...
- Oh, like--what was it? - Buns everywhere.
- Yeah. Buns. - You had so much long hair.
And you were just this little guy.
- [giggles] - Dominic's foster
was different than any one I had done.
He was back and forth with his birth mom.
And he was settling into my house
and that had never happened before.
- [grunts] - What?
The dog took a bite of his chip.
[laughs] [dog whimpers]
Her mouth is gonna be on fire.
I could turn a corner to the shelter,
and he would start kicking the back of my seat,
"Mama, no. Mama, no."
He knew at 11 months, "I don't want to go back.
I don't want to go back to a shelter."
It was heart-wrenching.
Nice work. Let's go read your book.
This went on for two years.
And a decision just had to be made.
And then Dominic was two.
And it took until he was five years old
to finalize his adoption.

"I'm sorry about the gym.
"But, you know,
you guys should be proud of yourselves."
Like, so sweet and nice.
And I was like, "Oh, my God."
It almost brought tears to my eyes when I read it.
Given our state of our friendship...
Tamra called you Shrek.
It was disappointing for me.
That was hurtful. - It just shows to me
she has a big heart and she cares...
or she's trying.
- Tearing it down. - This is the only wall
we have to remove? - Yeah.
So maybe you can take a sledgehammer to it and...
[bangs] - And it's like,
why isn't Shannon doing that?
Why isn't she reaching out

This is actually good therapy. - It is.
You haven't asked me one thing
about my convo with Shannon.
Did you tell her how you felt?
I told her exactly how I felt.
The only good thing out of the relationship
was David. And I don't even know
how he lasted so long.
She drinks way too much. - Okay, well,
it's funny you say that, because then she's like,
the multiple phone calls,
the drunken stupidness that she's done,
was only when her and David were going through a divorce.
I'm like, "No." After that it was,
"John left me in New York."
"John left me at a restaurant."
It's always something. Always.
Yeah, it's always the other person.
Yep. The time that I have spent

The one thing is, though, before I got COVID,
I went shopping with Heather and Shannon.
Shannon mentioned that Tamra and Shannon meeting up
did not go well.
We're pretty much at an impasse,
because she says that I ghosted her, which--
and I looked up the definition.
Ghosting is cutting someone out of your life.
And I never did that.
And I never would have done that
to the person I considered my best friend.
Maybe not seat them next to each other?
I just don't want one of them
to throw the other one off the boat.
The bottom line is, like, I'm glad Tamra's back around,
but, like, she has to adjust herself too.
Right. And you know what? I've been texting
with her a little bit.
Because that-- at the yoga thing,
I said, "I don't feel like you ever had
the opportunity to really get to know me."
So I felt like it was important to make an effort.
And so that's what I've been trying to do.
Yeah. I think it's good.
I have trust issues with Tamra.
But when you look into someone's eyes,
you really just recognize
that at the end of the day we're just two women,
and all that petty stuff just goes away.

Do you know why flamingos are pink?
She didn't know on the way over here.

This is what my friend has experienced with Shannon

How old was your youngest when you adopted him?
Dominic was just under two, finalized at five.
- That's amazing. - This is not a story

I'm telling these women who I don't know
about my adopted son.

was made. Done. I don't know.
Well, cheers to making the right decision.
Cheers to good decisions.
This is typical Shannon,
totally unaware
of anybody else's feelings or emotions
and just thinks about herself.
Where's Eddie?
I'm going towards the cute bartender.
So do you see what I'm talkin' about?
Yes, I do. I-I do.
You have to understand, like,
she's gonna take, take, take, take, take,

So I have actually been wanting to ask you something.
- Yeah. - I got cast in a movie.
- How fun is that? - Are you an actress?
I have not been an actress,
which is why I wanted to ask you--
I want to work with an acting coach,
and I was gonna see if you would go with me.
Because you know what you're doing
and I don't. - Sure.
And then you can give me, like, some pointers...
- Happy to. - And your honest opinion.
Yeah. I've always been a performer.
I was a singer.
I had a 14-piece big band
I toured with for four years.
And then I started getting better acting jobs.
And I was a series regular on several television shows.
Don't let me embarrass myself.
- You'll be good. - I've done that plenty
in my life. - I promise I won't
let you embarrass yourself. - Okay, thank you.

I'm serious. What just happened?
That didn't sound good.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate for a minute.

out of all these women, you and I

Do you think that you're holding on
to this animosity and this hurt
and you don't want to give and inch towards Shannon?
And maybe you have to let some of that anger go?

- For seven years. - But can you say,
"I was hurt." - I did.

"But I forgive you.

Honey... - No. I want to sit here.
No, I'm having-- no, I'm having a conversation.

of something. - Oh.
Heather is an interrupter.
It takes a lot to start your own business.
- It does. - Guys, is there, like, um,
a penthouse?
She does it a lot.
She'll be like, "Oh, Emily, how are the kids doing?"
"Well, the kid--"
"Did you know that Nicky came home last night
and we went to dinner." And I'm like,
"I didn't even-- you asked me a question.
I didn't even get a sentence out."
What if-- - Here's my question--sorry.
Can I ask one question? - Yeah.
The question is, do you want a deeper friendship
or do you not care?
Like, what do you want... - Yeah, that's what I'm asking.
- From it? - I would love
a deeper friendship, but it's gotta be equal.
- Yeah. - And I will never put in
so much time to a friendship... - Mm-hmm.
- That doesn't give back. - But you don't believe
you're gonna get the equal.
- I'm--it's questionable. - 'Cause--yeah.
What a beautiful night, as always, right?
- Oh, it is. - Yeah.
- It is beautiful. - Pretty. Really pretty.
Do you want to push her overboard?
No, I don't want to push anybody overboard.
- Okay, good. - Can you just take...
- Just checking. - A little bit
of responsibility for maybe things
that you did that were hurtful to her?
- 'Cause she says... - And then she can take...
You won't take accountability at all.
She can [BLEEP] a duck as far as I'm concerned.
[BLEEP] a duck?
That's not even, like, a saying
that people say.
Ducks are, like, cute, little...
[quacking] Fuzzy creatures.
- Yes, but that's not-- - No.
- But that's not-- - Because I didn't do
anything to her! - What's funny is,
when I-- - But you did--
- I did not do... - Okay.
- Anything to her! - So you don't--
But other than take her phone calls
all----ing night all the time. - Okay, but when--
To the point where my husband and my kids were like,
"Please don't take that----ing phone call."
If Tamra answered these late-night phone calls
and never said, "Don't call me this late.
"It's disrupting my family.
It's disrupting my sleep,"
then how does Shannon have any idea
that that's wrong to do in that relationship?
She doesn't 'cause you enabled it.
When I----ing needed her, she wasn't----ing there.
And that's the end of the story.
So you know what? She can [BLEEP] a duck.
I gave so much for so many years.
When I----ing needed her, she wasn't----ing there.
And that's the end of the story.
So you know what? She can [BLEEP] a duck.
- I don't like that. - It's bullsh--.
Didn't happen. - No, the end of the story--
Then I feel like we're at a point
where it-- - Until she can say...
- We're good. - It is what it is.
She proved her point tonight when Jenn's talkin'
about her deep story about her adoption,
she's like, "Oh, my God, is that's John's son?"
She doesn't give a [BLEEP]
about anybody else. - Yeah, that wasn't good.
If you wanna move forward,
you gotta move in a little.
Just, like, a couple inches.
Like, you can't just scream
"[BLEEP] a duck" the whole time.
The duck has been----ed.
We need to move on. [chuckles]
- It was good. - Uh-huh.
Look at you just eating off the serving plate.
[laughter] - Emily, I love you.
- If you like shrimp... - What'd I do?
I just like you're just eating of the serving.
If you like shrimp, my suggestion
is get it in while you can. - Okay.
Because somebody is making this plate her own.
Okay. Emily, do you mind if I take one of your shrimp?
Yeah. Okay, I wanna-- I wanna say something.
- Uh-huh. - I feel like you
maybe should apologize to Jenn 'cause you interrupted her
when she was talking about her son that she adopted.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't-- I'm sorry.
We just missed something.
- Where was that? - [sighs]
Can I sit here? - Yes.
- When what-- - I apologize.
- I told her... - Whoo!
- Wait, what just happened? - Wait, what?
Honestly, Shannon, I don't need to be
center of attention, but it feels a bit rude.
I apologize.
They were waving and I-- I'm sorry.
I apologize. I thought that it was him.
But you understand, like,
that's how you normally do things?
I did just say-- I did say I understand--
Wait, did you just say that's normally how I do things?
Kind of.
You don't acknowledge and that's the problem.
Well, I did just acknowledge
and I apologized. - Yeah, when it was brought
to your attention.
You know what, Tamra? I--just let's stop
with the eyerolls. I-I don't want to bring
a bunch of people into our issue.
I did nothing to you.
- But don't you think that-- - For seven years...
- But don't you think that-- - Stop, Emily,
before I----ing hurt you. - Wow.
No, how're you gonna hurt me?
How're you gonna hurt me?
Why would you say something like that?
Why are you sticking up for her
when you've never liked her? - I'm not.
She's not sticking up--
Why are you sticking up for her?
I'm not sticking up for anyone.
I'm saying maybe... - You accept her...
- There's something that-- - You accept her...
- Maybe there's something... - "For who she is."
That you did. Yes.
You're just gonna accept the fact
that you know that somebody can't be a good friend,
and you're just gonna still be friends?
Again, if I failed you,
I apologize. - You failed me.
- But are you open-- - Okay, why are you
ing going...
Because, Tamra, I was there for you.
No, you weren't! You're a liar.
You're a liar! You're a liar! You're a liar! You're a liar!

Yeah, no. I'm not talking that way.

- Sure. - Where is the girl

saying that you missed me as a friend?
- You missed what you had. - You miss her.
I miss what I had.
I don't miss this.
But she's being ver-- I feel like Shannon's
being very Zen,
and I think she's answering questions.
- Yes. - I think she's being honest.
Okay, so--okay.
You guys go talk.
I'm not--I'm done with this conversation.

and I don't know how we rebound after this.
I don't.

You told Shannon she could go [BLEEP] a duck.
I am calling to apologize
from the deepest part of my heart.
I'm so sorry about the other night.
The hardest part about closing this business
was the relationships that we built for nine years.
You posted that post
about, like, being so proud to still be open.
The day before you came to your friend's party
who's closing her business.
Okay, I see what Gina's saying.
Tamra, would I ever knock you
for closing your business? - No. I mean, I don't know.
I'm just asking. - Yes, you do know.
