Previously on "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City"...
So this is kinda what we're looking at for the choir?
Yeah.
Easter's around the corner,
and what is Easter without a hymn?
-I'll have him and him and him. -[laughter]
He said, "With Whitney being a public figure,
it was gonna be a conflict of interest."
"The fact that your wife has a career,
you can no longer work here."
Lisa tweeted my dad's obituary.
She crossed the line when she used her dad's memorial
to make me look like a sh--ty person.
You should probably still pick up the phone and call Heather.
Well, I think I'm just gonna show up at her choir auditions.
Chris Harrington started an Instagram page
called @shahxposed.
In a very immature moment, I created a fake account.
When it comes to Angie,
you need to be aware of what's going on.
[amplified singsongy voice] Hello, everyone!
Who's ready to audition?
-[cheering] -I'm ready.
The last thing I expected was to see Angie Harrington here.
[laughter]
***
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
What the hell is Angie Harrington doing here...
* Oh, I would like to be in that number *
...in her dollar store leotard outfit?
I feel like it's a slap in the face to me.
Oh, here we go.
And Heather's diminishing what my family and I went through
with this @shahxposed account.
As the assistant, I would like to present...
-[laughter] -...our first audition.
-Jerwin. -[cheering]
Thanks.
What are you gonna sing for us today?
I'm going to sing
"When the Saints Go Marching In."
* Oh, when the saints *
* Go marching in *
-You've known Angie just from... -No, I don't know Angie.
I just know what I hear from Jen and Lisa,
and I don't like it.
Are your shorty pants showing?
Mine are short, like I need to--
I need to roll 'em up.
Hey, that is so good. Holy sh--.
Damn it. It's been 20 years.
Oh, my goodness. I love this outfit.
You can make your tags. Your name and vocal range.
-I'm a tenor. -Give us something.
Let's go!
-* And the rocket's red glare * -That's fire.
Whoo!
I'm so sorry. I, like, met you
for, like, two seconds at ski day.
I know you're good friends with Heather.
Yeah.
I tried to talk to Lisa at ski day.
She would not even talk to me.
Angie, look, I'm just gonna tell you, like--
-I think we should explain-- -I like everybody.
I wanted to like you, and I wanna give you a chance,
but I also think if you're going to talk behind Lisa's back...
What have I said behind her back and "B"...
Don't go up to her and don't go try to be her friend.
-...tell me what I said. -And don't try and hug her.
-Like what? Tell me what? -And then you go
and try to hug her. It's fake. It's fake.
Tell me what I said.
You open up fake accounts with your spouse
and go and criticize them on social media.
-I-I admit--Okay. -And you know that you did that.
The account may have been named @shahexposed,
but it was really aimed at targeting Lisa.
I have never one time opened a fake account.
Never in my life.
You can deny that at this moment. I mean--
-Never. Never. -There's screenshots that exist
that show that you did. -That I'veopened it?
You and your husband.
She's lying.
She liked a comment that was posted within, like, 30 seconds.
[bell dings]
You were involved 100%.
So me and my husband don't share an account.
Well, you share a marriage, and you share a family.
-Yes, a marriage... -So whatever he does...
-...but accounts are separate. -...represents you.
I've never done it to her. Never.
Wait a second. You're telling me that Chris,
a grown-ass man, created a Finsta account
to troll Lisa?
-Angie, I get what you're s-- -I am speaking
on her behalf right now. -Don't you think that this,
like, you should have this conversation with Lisa?
Yeah, I should probably have this conversation with Lisa.
No, this is-- I'm speaking for--
I feel really icky and silly right now
being in a matching costume with Angie.
I just wanna put my top hat over my head.
I wish that I could just disappear.
-[siren wails] -I'm here to hype you guys up.
Side step. No, no, no. We're not tired.
We are not tired.
We are full of energy.
-What? I'll be right back. -[laughter]
Angie just addressed Angie H.
I just brought up how she was talking sh-- about Lisa
and the fake accounts and everything,
and she denies all of it.
Let's be honest. Can you really say you had no idea...
-Oh, my gosh. -...your husband did this?
None.
[scoffs]
***
Angie, you're full of sh--. You know what your husband does.
No, I didn't.
-Is it, like-- -I'm glad you're standing there
with a smirk on your face. -It is.
'Cause this is very personal.
-This is--This is, like-- -A smirk?
You guys...
It's really interesting how Angie can just conveniently
not know or forget.
Like, she didn't know that Chris created this Finsta?
She didn't remember saying the rumor about Lisa
at the Jazz game?
Like, is this a convenience thing,
or does she really have a memory problem?
Okay, you need to take some accountability
because he did it. -Why? Why?
-Because that's your husband! -I didn't do it.
I agree. Talk to him.
-Oh, my gosh. -Angie, it's a big deal, though.
-I didn't do it. -Let me tell you--
Your husband wouldn't have done that if you guys
hadn't talked about it. -Let me tell you what I--
-I had to tell my husband-- -Remind me--
Shut up and let me talk! 'Cause it's me!
It's me, goddamn it! So let me talk!
But you're accusing me, too.
When you get married to somebody,
that is your other half. I am responsible
for what Sharrieff does and vice versa, and so are you!
Okay, but--but the things that you're being accused of
right now, is Sharrieff taking sh-- for it?
-I shouldn't-- -I'm innocent!
* Amazing grace *
* How sweet the sound *
"I'm gonna get people to click on this account
'cause it says @shahxposed. Let's find out.
Oh, they're exposing Shah." I know exactly why he did it.
-You picked my ----ing name. -Don't look at us.
Jen, what is going on?
If somebody dragged you or your husband...
Heather...
Don't ----ing laugh or smile!
No. No.
He set up an account that said "@shahx--"
You don't define someone. He talked about it.
He took accountability, and you--
and talked to you about this. -No, he did it because
I asked about it! -Right, on the phone with us.
-Do you guys understand? -You guys didn't?
You told me you had a conversation
with him about it, and he owned it.
He got caught. That's why.
Do you know how many fake Instagram accounts there are?
-Just take accountability. -I--
-It's--Listen-- -Take accountability for what?
-I didn't do anything. -Okay. Listen.
Hey. I...
Hey.
Babe, what do you--
You don't understand. Sharrieff is ----ing disgusted.
I don't know what I can do about it out there.
[sobbing] Oh, my God. I can't. I can't. [bleep] this.
I can't do this!
This is becoming ridiculous. Let's be very clear here.
Jen Shah is in a washing machine of turmoil
because she's been indicted on federal charges
with a prison sentence looming,
not because she's getting trolled
by Chris Harrington on Instagram.
***
I have been impressed with everyone,
either their story... -Yeah.
-...their desire. -Their energy.
-I wanna bring them all.
I want them all to be a part of it.
I know. The people.
Hi.
Heather and I probably need a 12-step program
to move forward in our friendship,
but step number one has to be showing up for her today,
'cause I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that can sing.
-All right, are you ready? -Yeah.
[singsongy] I'm here for the audition!
Oh!
***
Coming up...
I'm telling you the truth. I don't ----ing lie.
The truth is you have no friends left.
Who's not my friend here? Raise your hand.
***
-Okay, are we ready? -Yes.
[singsongy] I'm here for the audition!
Oh!
Why are you here? Do you wanna be in the choir?
-You wanna be-- -I wanna support Heather Gay...
-Oh. Okay. -...on her mission for
spirituality in her own way.
I appreciate that.
I am shocked to see Lisa,
because she really hurt my feelings.
And this is, I feel like, her way of saying, like,
"I'm showing up for you, and I'm sorry."
Yeah, that's so sweet.
But I'm, you know... I still can't stand her.
Okay.
-* Away in a manger * -Yeah.
* No crib for his bed *
Yes!
* The little Lord Jesus *
* Laid down his sweet head *
* The stars in the heaven *
* Look down where he lay *
* And little Lord Jesus, no crying he made *
Is that it?
-Yes! -You did well. That's beautiful.
-Thank you. -Really good.
-Really beautiful. -Really good.
-So are we good? -Yeah, you were great.
-Thanks for coming. -Whoo!
Okay, where do I exit? Here? Through here?
-What a pleasure to have her. -Did you know she was coming?
No, I had no idea.
-Hey, guys. -Hi.
-Did you hear my audition? -I did.
-No. -Did you love it?
You look so good. You look beautiful.
-Good to see you. -I heard it. So good.
Thank you.
Not a lot, Lori. [laughs]
[snorts, continues laughing]
Whit, I--Whit. Whit?
Can you go...
-I don't know where it is. -Good.
Can you go over the routine real quick?
-Yeah. -Okay. Come on. Back here.
-Hi. -How's it going?
-Did you-- -Oh, it's awesome.
Did you try out?
I'll just grab a tissue real quick.
Everything just feels, like, weird all of a sudden.
-It is weird. -It is weird.
Angie K. and Angie H. got into it.
-May I present... -[cheering]
-Whoa! -Presents...
Whitney and Angie.
-Oh! -[cheers and applause]
Where's...Where's Jen?
***
Hey. Do you want me to stay away?
You can stay.
BOTH: * Oh, when the saints *
* Go marching in *
* Oh, when the saints go marching in *
-Oh, a triple. -[cheers and applause]
Heather was literally siding with Angie.
-What? -That's when I really got hurt
because I felt so ----ing attacked. I'm like...
I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner.
I need all of us to sit down
because I promise you on everything I love
if--if Heather ----ing tells me that I need to just get over it
or that I'm in the wrong and Angie's in the right,
I promise you, I'm gonna tell her to her face
"Go [bleep] yourself. Get the [bleep] out of my life.
You are the worst ----ing friend.
You're the most materialist person.
The only reason you're ----ing with Angie Harrington
is because you think her fat ----ing Elf on the Shelf husband
is gonna feed you and put you on a ----ing yacht, bitch.
Well, guess what. You're a cheap mother----ing date."
You're gonna be okay. I got you.
[cheers and applause]
[laughter]
Thank you, Judges.
HEATHER: You're wonderful. You're wonderful.
Thank you, Judges.
Hey, how's it going?
I did some fouttés. I did some pirouettes.
-Do you think I can fit in? -Over here. Let's sit.
-We'll put it together. -I love your back.
-Oh, we'll do it. -[indistinct conversations]
I love you.
First of all, Heather,
you are already sending a message to me
that you're okay with all of this.
She's literally sitting on your lap.
Like, you might as well breastfeed her.
Are you feeling better now?
I'm not feeling better. I'm just calm now.
-Mm-hmm. -Good.
I was very triggered when I went out there.
[voice breaking] Shah is our last name.
So when someone types in "@shahexposed"
because Chris thinks is just, "I need to protect my wife,"
what he's saying that I don't mean--I don't matter,
but you do.
***
-I'm so sorry. -Okay?
I wanna see you raw.
I appreciate this more than anything.
This is unbelievable.
Your husband created this page to troll me.
Where's myapology?
What hurt me the most
while I was back there crying, Heather, is you.
You come out there, and you go, "Jen, he--she didn't do it.
He apologized. They said sorry. That's it."
That was the only thing I said. I did not say, "That's it."
And it sounded like you were dismissing
everything that I feel. -No, not, not at all.
-She helped-- -Not at all.
And you have been nothing but lovely to us
and to my husband... -And I said nothing
other than that. -...and he cares about you,
and he did not show it in an appropriate way.
Leave. I'm, like, seriously...
Lisa, we can't leave.
I'm done with this. It's, like, not okay.
You can't just say sorry. You keep doing the same thing
over and-- -You bully everyone online.
I don't bully anybody online, and I-I only have one account,
and it's got my face on it, Angie.
-Okay. -You're a ----ing liar.
You're a ----ing liar.
I posted the truth.
She used her dad's...death to lie about me!
***
You said you're my friend, you cared about me,
and then you went on social media
and showed exactly the opposite, so you were fake.
I told you the truth. If you don't like the truth...
Moving forward, moving forward--
...don't ask for it. I'm telling you the truth.
I don't ----ing lie.
The truth is, you have no friends left, Lisa.
Okay, that's like-- Did you guys just hear this?
-Thank you. -Heather just said
the truth is I have no friends left.
Who's not my friend here? Raise your hand.
***
Heather, you know what? I wanna stay in a good place with you.
I told you this at skiing. I said it has to be based
on the truth, and if you lie about me,
I have to be able to clear my name.
It doesn't take me backwards. It makes it so I'm clear.
You said I was not there for you when your dad died.
-You weren't. -And I texted you
when I found out he was in the hospital,
and I texted you the day he passed.
And I should not have posted what was online.
Listen, you're welcome to post.
But--But I don't want you to lie about me.
It's all propaganda, but you're welcome to post
and do whatever you want. -I didn't want you
to lie about me. -I was mistaken 'cause I got
that text when we were surrounding his bedside,
and he was on hospice. -Heather. Heather. Heather.
You said, "I hope your dad's feeling better."
-Heather. -And it felt callous
and, like, a little bit of cover your ass.
-No, it was not. It was-- -It's fine.
You're allowed to clear your name,
and your name is cleared, and I lied, and you're the best.
And you're awesome, and your character
is in perfect standing. -No, this isn't how it goes.
[bleep] you and your stupid ass text.
And you're missing the big picture.
You're clearing your name,
but you're totally devastating my feelings.
Let's go. Let's just leave.
-ANGIE H.: Do you have your hat? -WHITNEY: Yeah.
***
'Cause it's so damn hot.
-I like it that way. -It's about to get hotter.
-Ba-dum-bum. -[laughs]
***
-What is going on? -With what?
You.
-My life, you mean? -Yeah.
I have so much to tell you. You've been gone.
You abandoned me for four days.
It's called work.
I know...
That's amazing. Thank you. I hate being away.
Because of Seth's business, he's usually gone
for about four days twice a month,
and I miss him when he's gone.
Just catch me up. [scoffs]
[laughs]
Catch me up without your toe in my butt.
So Brooksy...I think is coming out to visit soon.
[scoffing]
Please do not put your foot
near my taint while you're talking about our children.
I just--that has-- we have to set rules
if we're gonna talk about-- -I'm just putting it
under your butt so I don't slip.
So anyway, I started to tell you a little bit earlier today
there's definitely some tension between Heather and Jen.
This all ties back to the Finsta.
Jen says that Heather didn't support her,
and Heather says she did.
I know that Heather, you know, is very loyal to Jen,
but I also know she really likes Angie a lot.
I mean, I'm sure that Heather probably didn't go as hard
because it's uncomfortable being in the middle
of two people who you, you know, are good friends with.
But it seems like for her not to support Jen at all
would be really surprising, too, 'cause she has been, like,
super, super supportive of Jen,
like blindly supportive, you know?
Like, she's just, like, "I don't care what happens,
what you do, I'm here for you no matter what," basically.
-Just-- -But she goes way back
with Angie, too, right?
Yeah.
Heather and Angie are new friends.
Heather is not in a great position,
and it is very tough to be in the middle
of two close friends that are fighting.
Believe me, I know. I went through it with Lisa and Mary.
-I'm kind to everyone. -No, you're not.
-Mary, you're fake as [bleep]. -And you're real?
Meredith, is this okay? She's so nice. She's so nice.
She's kind.
And that didn't end well, did it?
I honestly think me, you, Heather, Jen, and Coach
should get in this bath and just work all this sh-- out.
Okay, that's not normal.
[laughs]
No, no, do not kick. Do not kick.
[chuckles]
-[yells] -[laughs]
***
So just right here, I think.
Wow.
***
-Just park here. -Oh, right by the Porta Potty.
Perfect. We might need to use those in a minute.
***
Wowzers.
-Hello, ladies. -Hi!
Welcome to Mountain View Village.
-This is so crazy. -Hi.
Great. How's everybody doing today?
-I'm Dre. -David Anderson...
-Hi, David. Hi. Heather. -...with CenterCal.
-How do you do? -Nice to meet you.
-Hey, great. -We haven't seen any of this.
-Oh, my gosh. -Last time we were here,
it was just... -It was just pile.
-Yeah, asphalt. -It was dirt.
A couple months, we'll be done, so...
I can't believe the scale.
We're coming from, like, a one level,
been-around-for-50-years strip mall.
-Yeah, strip mall. -Oh, really?
-BOTH: Yeah. -Oh, my God.
-Like, we're moving on up. -Yeah.
This is exciting. Yeah.
Do we get to wear safety equipment for this tour?
Yeah, can I--can I give you some protective gear here?
I would love a hardhat.
Dre and I have been through this before.
We built our current Beauty Lab from an abandoned tanning salon,
had to scrape it down and build it from the ground up.
-This looks so good. -I can't believe the progress.
I'm so excited.
Right?
-[laughs] Yeah. -Yep. I know.
We were ready to have a second location business-wise
six months ago.
Can I walk you over to the space?
So what's--yeah, what space is actually ours?
Come right over here. So you're actually from
where that beam is right there over to where
the white beam is right there.
But I have no idea how they're gonna turn this cement block
into a Beauty Lab.
You're gonna go all the way over to that next column.
-This is huge. -And then you go
all the way to the back wall, yeah. Yep.
-Okay. -And then all this storefront.
-Yeah. Cool. -Okay, well, this is
intimidating, but I would love to just do a walk through.
-Yeah. -Check it out, yeah.
Yeah, let's just inspect everything.
All right, I'm around if you need me.
-So nice to meet you. -Okay. Thank you so much.
-Yeah, you, too. -Thank you so much.
BOTH: Thanks, Dave.
-Okay. -So...
Where, like...I am overwhelmed.
-I am, too. I'm like... -[laughs] I don't even know
what to say or do because this is ridiculously huge
and intimidating to me.
So...I have the floor plans the architect sent over.
So this is gonna be our front door.
-And this is the view? -Yeah. I know.
That's beautiful.
Even though it's a little bit more of a drive for us,
we will still...
-Visit. -...still come here and, like--
This is the stepsister of Beauty Lab.
[laughs] I know.
I know. It's like my heart and soul
is at that location.
I know.
The truth is, this is my second chapter,
and I have so many huge, huge projects going on
that I don't feel like I have time for the petty bullsh--.
It's gonna be bigger and more beautiful
and much more grandiose. -It is.
If our friends had seen us five years ago,
would they have predicted this? -No.
I'm not trying to actively have conflict
with any of these women, and yet every time
I try to do something positive or get us together,
they lead with how I've done them wrong.
And I don't know how to fix it with my friends.
What has always worked for me before
doesn't seem to be landing.
I'm so proud of you. I'm proud of us.
I'm proud of you. I'm proud of us.
-I know. -And let's hit our hardhats.
-[laughs] -The hard-headed women.
Coming up...
Which straw breaks the camel's back?
Which insult causes you to say, "I'm tired of it,"
and then hurt yourself or do something
that you can't come back from?
***
Do you know what's so cute?
I took Henry to get, like, treats last night,
and he's like, "Don't get out of the car,"
and I'm like, "Okay."
He wanted to open my door for me.
-Hi. How are you today? -Good.
-Do you have reservations? -We do.
-Yeah? -Under Barlow.
-Barlow? Just for two? -Yes, thank you.
-Yes. -Please.
***
My name's Keo, and I'll be taking care of you two.
-Thank you. -Awesome.
Can I get you going with drinks?
I'm definitely gonna have a Vida cocktail.
I have a lavender one. It's called the Lavende-Vida.
-100%. -Let me do the same one.
-Same thing? -Yeah.
That's, like, my favorite cocktail here.
-Thank you. Thank you. -It's so good.
-It's one of our best sellers. -I love that. [laughs]
I don't think this guy realizes, like, we own Vida Tequila.
Let me try your special.
-The surf and turf. -The surf and turf?
And no, he's not on my payroll.
Thank you.
I love my new bracelet. Thank you.
-Awesome. No, it looks good. -Pretty.
-Looks very pretty. -I love when it's just us!
I know. It's strange.
Um, so I talked to my sister today.
Have you talked to Gina lately?
I haven't. How's she doing?
Like, honestly, it made me cry.
She's like, why are we all, like, divorced
Ooh. I need this. [laughs]
Thank you.
I never really asked, like, how does it affect you?
I've always said, like,
I grew up with a built-in friend group,
and to have them so sad, like, just makes me so sad.
You know, with your sisters, there's no disrespect to them.
As you try and take their emotions and everything
on to yourself, they're gonna let you do it.
-Does that make sense? -Mm-hmm.
'Cause that takes more burden off of them.
Yeah, I do it with my friendships.
-And not--well, not only that. -I do it with my siblings.
I struggled with this. After I got divorced
and I was trying to figure my life out, figure myself out,
you know, I'd read a lot of, kinda, like, healing books,
and it taught me
you're not disliking anybody or not loving them
by not letting them invade your space.
Lisa being there for her sisters takes a toll on us.
Oh, it looks amazing. Thank you.
Maybe it's me being selfish,
but I think there are times where Jack, Henry, and I
all do wish that she could just not answer. [chuckles]
You have to look in the mirror and remind yourself,
"It's okay to do stuff for myself."
I remember going to church and thinking, like,
the one thing that make me feel the best...
[voice breaking] is our, like, relationship with God.
-Mm-hmm. -And, like, I feel like
I've let that go a little bit,
and it gets me emotional 'cause it's so important.
So do you feel you've moved away from something or...
'cause you don't-- -No, I feel like I just--
-To me, you haven't. -No, I haven't been as, like,
um...solid, like, I think, there, where it's like
I know it's there. -Okay.
So I haven't, like, focused on it as much.
But I feel like for me, like, that's where I feel happiness
and, like, peace.
[voice breaking] I'm very important to God,
and, like...very connected,
and so, like, when I don't feel like I'm in that space,
I don't feel like me.
I like talking to you about this stuff,
and I think it's like a good reset
and reminder, you know?
I'm happy to talk anytime if you're ready to listen.
Oh, my gosh.
***
I do.
[hoarse voice] Okay, first of all,
I was getting everybody hyped up about the choir audition,
and I have a little cold.
***
I was in my element, honey. This is what I was born to do.
-For real, though. Honey. -Yeah.
I'm like the Polynesian Ryan Seacrest,
but I'm a girl.
So you are the Regina Seacrest.
That's the female version of Ryan.
Oh. You just made that up.
-Right now. -Okay.
'Cause I mean, that's where we're going, right?
Yes.
And who--who was at the auditions?
And there's some people I knew and some people I didn't know.
-Um... -Did anybody else in the--
-Lisa was there. -Did Lisa try out?
Lisa tried out. Um, Angie Harrington was there.
***
Angie K. basically confronted Angie Harrington and said,
"Why would you start a fake IG account called @shahxposed?"
Then she basically was like, "Well, I didn't set it up.
My husband did it."
***
He did set it up.
It upsets me more than you'll ever know
that a grown man would stoop this low.
You just jump on the bandwagon
and make these horrible character assassination attempts
about you, and he piles it on?
'Cause what these people will never understand
is that which straw breaks the camel's back?
Which insult, which post is the one
that causes you to say, "I'm tired of it"
and then hurt yourself or do something
that you can't come back from?
This is so low. Why would you do that?
What--What--What did-- What did my wife do to you?
You know, what-- what did wedo to you?
This is unbelievably serious to me.
And I have the most forgiving heart.
-I know. -And I can forgive
ifyou take the same measure, take the same measure.
You sought public attention. Take the same public apology.
-I agree. -Take the same public apology.
And keep that apology up for as long as that account was up.
Your actions will speak louder than anything you can tell me.
Anything.
***
Because of the online bullying, it's been multiple times
I find her laying in the fetal position.
I just don't think she is equipped
to deal with...so much dislike, so much hate.
And then Heather walks out...
During all of this?
...during this to see what's going on.
Heather's well aware, 'cause she knows. I told her.
Heather walks out, and Heather goes,
"Jen, just forgive them. They said sorry.
Forgive them and move on."
***
I was so ----ing hurt when she did that.
That was Wednesday.
Thursday, Heather sends me flowers,
and I'm so confused, 'cause I'm like, hold on one second.
If you're sending me flowers, you're telling me you love me,
but how come you couldn't stand up
for what was right and wrong in the moment?
Going forward, you will never suppress how you feel
about the treatment from the people
that they call themselves your friend.
If it's not right and it doesn't feel right,
you're gonna know about it right now.
And if the response doesn't feel good,
and it's not justified in your heart,
then maybe I need to get a new damn friend.
***
You don't want me to let you win?
***
Nice.
That's nice.
***
All right, Brooks, you ready?
***
Hello!
Hey!
I'm getting schooled in basketball.
-Nice. -Oh, my gosh. You brought...
I brought some scooters in case we wanna...
Oh, amazing. I brought Henry's, too. Hey.
-Hey. -Hey, Brooks.
If you would've told me a year ago
that Lisa and I would be friends,
I would have just laughed at you in the face.
So what are we doing, basketball?
Lisa definitely has, like, a big sister energy,
and that used to trigger me like she was looking down on me.
I feel like we need to style Whitney out a little bit, Mer.
What's wrong with my style?
It's a little Utah.
But now I see and understand she actually does care a lot.
It's just sometimes words get in the way of that.
Okay, Henry and Whitney against me and Brooks.
* It's game time, uh-huh *
Stay on him.
[laughs]
-Nice. -Nice.
Okay, Brooks, you got this.
2 points?
***
Ooh. Nice fake.
***
Ooh, whoops. That was a little off.
***
-Nice bounce pass. -Thank you.
Next point wins!
***
-[bell dings] -Okay, now that's too nice.
-Ha! We won. -They beat us,
but we still rock, right, Brooks?
-Yeah. -Good game, sir.
Good job, little Hen.
You two can keep playing or do whatever you want.
***
[laughs]
-You have your Diet Coke? -Yeah.
-You wanna sit? -Yeah.
So how's everything going?
Uh...I think it's been nonstop craziness.
But good. Like, overall good, but definitely
in the thick of transition and change.
Is Justin, like, is it sitting in with him right now?
Yeah. He's, like, doing things that normally
he wouldn't have time to do.
-Oh, that's amazing. -Mr. Mom.
-Do color, cold setting. -[machine chimes]
Wow.
Daddy daycare.
No. Stop. Stop.
[children laughing and yelling]
Whoa!
-Daddy carpool. -[laughs]
-Bobbie, we gotta go. -Bye. Bye.
And sometimes it doesn't always get done how I want it to,
but it's getting done. -[laughs]
And he's just being super supportive of me
going and hustling and working even harder
with Wild Rose Beauty. -Yeah.
But I feel a lot of pressure,
'cause now I'm the sole provider of the family.
Yeah, you're gonna do great, though.
It's hard, like, you know, with the family stuff,
like, I'm feeling it, too. Like, my sister's
in the middle of a divorce, and, like,
I'm just trying to figure out ways to, like,
have empathy but not carry the weight of it.
Yeah, 'cause if you carry around that emotion,
that's what turns into disease. -Yeah.
And that's where we have health problems,
and I really learned that over the last couple months
that I was carrying a lot, a lot from my childhood, a lot--
How are you letting go of all of it?
Like, what are you doing?
It's a practice. It's something I practice every day.
Mm-hmm.
And just connecting with Curtis, I still talk to him, like,
quite a bit, couple times a week,
especially when I'm feeling like I need encouragement
or I'm feeling, like, weak,
I reach out to Curtis, and he helps keep my mindset strong.
You know it's funny that you brought that up,
because I went to dinner with John this week,
and I wasn't, like, feeling good.
And then I was like, what am I missing?
And, like, it just keeps coming back to me.
It's like, I want a different relationship with God
than I have.
-Like, is that weird? -No.
Even though it's not for me, I have zero hatred
in my heart towards the Church.
I think Lisa is Mormon because she loves God
and she loves the community. Like, good for her.
-Henry, be careful, 'kay? -I know.
'Cause I love you.
Where's Brooks? Oh. So did you feel like
you weren't grounded, you weren't connected?
I think the thing for me is--
you probably can understand this, too--
is, like, I was feeling like not me.
-Yeah. -I would normally never put up
with certain things, I'm absorbing too much,
and I just feel like I need a shift.
Like, for example, with Heather, like,
I still choose to be there for Heather.
Like, out of anyone that should not have shown up
for those auditions, it should've been me. Like--
Yeah, that was a bold move.
And Heather used something so sensitive to disparage
my name and character, and that bothers me.
Like, if you didn't use your dad to lie about me,
I would not have ever used your dad to tell the truth about me,
and her dad should have been off-limits for her.
But I have done nothing to not merit being friends with.
I have done nothing for anyone to say
in the most ridiculous, childish way,
"Who doesn't wanna be friends with Lisa?"
***
Who's not my friend here? Raise your hand.
I'm embarrassed for the people that raised their hands.
I deserve better than this.
You know, I have no problem keeping people in check.
I've tried to have productive conversations with Heather.
They just don't always go well.
Like, Heather has zero accountability,
and she creates a narrative, and if you disagree with it,
she cuts you off.
I feel like you and I have
a lot more in common than we realize.
-Yeah. -'Cause in different ways,
we do take on things... -Yeah.
...that we shouldn't because what I'm learning,
and, like, I'm hearing you right now,
it's like you can be a good friend
and be supportive but not take it on.
Yeah. Take it on or take abuse.
-But that's a boundary. -Yeah. Yep.
'Cause I-I love Heather, and ultimately,
like, I would love to maintain my friendship with her
at the level, but this situation with her
has been really difficult for me to navigate.
-And which part? -We were such good friends.
We talked every day. Like, we were so close.
I hate being
in this uncomfortable gray area with Heather.
I really wish that we could just, like, work through this.
Because I value her friendship,
but maybe I should just ----ing believe her.
Like, I lost her forever.
It's just hard because
I'm trying my best to not be a people pleaser
and just go along to get along. -Mm-hmm.
But everything with Justin
parting ways with his former employer,
like, she didn't call me. -Oh, wow.
She--Like, there's been space,
and I haven't really understood why.
This is new to me, and I don't know how to feel about it.
-Like, it's uncomfortable. -Well...
It's the first time we've been in this situation.
Welcome to my world for three years.
Coming up...
-No. -So anytime I bring up Lisa,
it's like I'm having Lisa's back.
I'm trying to understand what the lie was, Heather.
***
-Hello. -Come in.
[chuckles] I'm so glad you're here.
How are you? I'm dying.
I'm, like, overwhelmed by life, kids,
friends, and just in the-- in the meantime,
I'm trying to run Beauty Lab and write this book.
-Can I get a water? -Yes.
I know that Whitney and I aren't perfect right now,
but she really showed up for me at auditions,
and I haven't really been able to talk to her since then,
when everything came to pieces.
So I miss Bad Weather.
It's been clear skies for far too long.
It's time for a tornado.
Look at our matching rings.
It's stardust. It's like being part of...
* Stardust *
Um, I want you to know something.
I'm not here to fight with you. I'm just here to be real.
Like, we're friends,
and we can talk through hard things, right?
-Absolutely. -And I would not...
be here if I didn't care. In fact, on the way over,
I was kinda, like, "Why am I chasing Heather down?"
-It's like, why, like, I-- -I thought we were
in this absolutely together. I don't think you coming over...
-But--But... -...is chasing me down.
-Like, I have... -Hear me out
why I feel that way. It's because since Phoenix,
I've just had so many big things in my life happen,
like, discovering that I am
traumatized by abuse I experienced as a child.
I am trying desperately to be there for you.
I know that I did a lot of things wrong in Arizona.
But, like, more sh-- has happened since then.
Like, like, when Justin was fired,
like, you didn't call me.
***
I didn't know Justin was fired.
I had no idea.
I've wanted to, like, pick up the phone and call you,
but there has been a disconnect.
There has been space that we haven't had before.
Do I think it's stemming from, um, the girls' trip? Yeah.
I don't think you understand where I was at
in my life at that point in time
and how devastating it was to me
and how much it hurt me.
See, that makes me feel confused, actually.
Because you had a dance routine.
Like, that's someone that loves me,
that doesn't feel distance, that is my friend,
and that doesn't say, "I couldn't even tell you
my husband lost his job because you've been so sh--ty."
Yeah, but you had an event. I showed up in support for you.
-And I'm coming to tell you-- -And you've been harboring pain
this whole time-- -I'm not harboring.
I'm just--I'm calling out the awkwardness.
I'm glad I had an event that you could show up for
and, like, be a hero, and I am the asshole
that has ignored you for two weeks.
It's not like that, Heather.
This reaction is the reason that I have been waiting
to have this conversation with Heather.
When things get hard or get a little bit uncomfortable,
she shuts down and stops listening
and stops hearing what I'm saying.
It's hard for Lisa to let things go, too.
We were both making progress with Lisa,
and now I feel like, well, sh--,
like how--how is this gonna work for me?
You feel like you're stuck in between loyalty to Lisa or me?
No. 'Cause the whole Twitter thing came out of nowhere,
and I was upset with her about that, too.
-No-- -But she also felt like
she was defending herself.
And I can't argue that. We're not hearing Lisa's side of it.
Yeah, we're not, Whitney, because--
Like, she's being accused of being a liar.
She is a liar. She wasn't there for me when my dad died,
and I love that you're bringing up how right she was
with the way she hurt me. -That's not what I'm doing.
-I'm trying to understand-- -Listen to me.
Listen to myfeelings.
Even though I'm good with my words,
I also have feelings that I would like to be heard.
You wanna walk in and be like, "Not only are you a bad friend,
but you also have completely ignored me
in a huge crisis," which is unfair and untrue.
And that crushes me that you would take this opportunity
to exploit me like that. So...
No, I'm not exploiting you, Heather. I'm not exploiting you.
And make it look like I have been a bad friend to you
and I have ignored you, and I've not been there for you.
How did you not know--But let's take it another step back.
Because I didn't find out on social media that J--
How did you not know that I was going through all this?
That right there is the dinger.
If you want me to know something,
and it's painful and hurtful
that I'm not responsive, tell me!
I'm in trouble for a rumor I never heard.
I'm in trouble for a horrible event in your life
that I didn't know about.
I'm sorry that I am not well versed in the gossip mill
and that Lisa's not calling me to tell me all this sh--
that goes wrong in your life every single day.
Okay? I don't wanna sit here with you,
my best friend and cousin,
and have you sit on my couch and explain to me
how I shouldn't be hurt by what Lisa did.
-It should be very clear to you. -This is a conversation.
And the fact that you want to talk it out
and represent for her is deeply offensive to me.
I'm not representing for anyone but myself.
I'm having a conversation with you.
Well, you know what? You're repping for yourself.
You're not repping for me.
How did we get here? Because the Whitney that I remember
and the Whitney that I love would just sit here
and help me process everything I'm feeling.
She wouldn't school me on Lisa's rights to tweet.
Anytime I bring up Lisa, it's like I'm having Lisa's back.
I'm trying to understand what the lie was, Heather.
What the--I don't know what-- why this conversation
is worth the lie. -I think she keeps saying--
because that's what the whole tweet was about.
The lie was when I said to her in L.A.,
"My dad died, and you texted me two days later,"
And that was a lie.
I don't know what is going on in Heather's life,
but clearly, something big is going on
because I do not recognize Heather.
I am so tired. I'm done. Thanks for coming.
[sighs]
-Heather, it's not a game, babe. -I just get the--
-I honestly, like-- -It's not a game.
-It's not, like-- -I know. It's not a game.
I am done. I've done my job today.
I'm trying to navigate the situation.
[door slams]
***
Next time on "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City"...
We're skiing! [laughs]
I think I'm going too fast! Big turn!
[screaming]
* God be with you till we meet again *
I'm not sure how to resolve this.
I don't want a friendship based on lies.
Heather, I just think, like, do you like me?
Danna brought up the situation at the choir audition,
saying, "Well, what was that all about with Jen bullying Angie?"
***
[singsongy] Hello!
We're calling to invite you to...
BOTH: San Diego!
-Look who I have here. -Hi, guys.
Danna, I would invite you, except I heard
you were talking sh--, girl.
I don't tolerate stuff like that.
Danna, we're done.
Listen for a sec.
-I'm not gonna perpetuate this! -Jen.
Jen, she doesn't matter. [bleep] her.
Nobody cares what she says.
