Welcome to The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Episode 10 recap. Last time, Gina showed off her new home and planned a trip to New Orleans. Meanwhile, Jenn was furious that Tamra showed photos of her when she was heavier. Here’s what happened in RHOC Season 19 Episode 6: “What Voodoo You Do.”

Shannon refused to spend time with Katie. Later, the ladies visited a voodoo shop. Meanwhile, according to Tamra, Katie allegedly told people that Gretchen claimed that Tamra “roofied” her. And Tamra seemingly quit the show after a nasty fight at dinner.

Gina secretly split the ladies into two groups. And Emily was tasked with handling the “troublemakers:” Shannon, Katie, and Tamra. However, as Emily, Shannon, and Tamra chatted in the car, Katie was missing. That was because Katie was in her own car.

“So, I just had it out with Shannon,” she told her husband, Matt Ginella, on the phone. “We were supposed to go eat at Café Du Monde, and Shannon walked in and she goes, ‘I’m not going if she’s going.’”

Cue the flashback of the ladies getting ready to leave. “I’m not really comfortable right now,” Shannon told Katie. “I don’t want to be around you. I’m not going if Katie’s going.” Katie offered to stay behind, and the ladies left.

You’ve been around Alexis, who is suing you with her boyfriend for $75,000,” Katie said in her confessional. “And I can’t eat a goddamn beignet with you?” Finally, Katie caught up with Gina’s group, who were enjoying some sweet treats.

Katie explained what happened with Shannon and that she was left behind. Meanwhile, Shannon and Tamra discussed their falling out during Season 18. “What happened between us last year, I don’t think I’ll ever forget it,” Shannon told Tamra.

Then Tamra shared that she doesn’t drink very much anymore. “I’ve learned that alcohol is not good for me,” Tamra said in her confessional. She asked Shannon, “Do you think that you can let that go?” However, Shannon can’t jump back into their friendship yet.

Next up, Gina brought the group to see the Voodoo Queen, Blood Mary. Each cast member could decorate her own voodoo doll. And Emily has high hopes that this will help Shannon land a man who won’t sue her.

However, Gretchen, Tamra, and Shannon sat down to watch the others. But Bloody Mary said that if you watched, you were participating. So, all three fled the shop. When Shannon started discussing Katie illegally recording her, Gretchen said that she liked Katie. “But Gretchen, do you want to be friends with people that commit illegal acts?” Shannon asked. “No, but Shannon, in fairness, you got a DUI, and that’s illegal, too,” Gretchen responded. Mic drop!

So, Shannon brought up the fact that Katie met with blogger Kiki Monique about Tamra. “Somebody in the press reached out to me to let me know that Katie had lunch with a blogger, Kiki Monique,” Tamra explained in her confessional, “and said some pretty horrific things about me.”

“Katie said that you told her that I roofied you,” Tamra told Gretchen. The newly returned RHOC star stood up and muttered, “Oh, my f*cking God.” Tamra threw the story back to that infamous RHOC party at her house 17 years ago, when she was going to get Gretchen “naked wasted.” The point was to show the partying side of Gretchen that the cast saw when they went out.

Right away, Gretchen denied telling Katie that story. Yet, she had a gut feeling that she should remember who the information came from. Tamra doubled down, claiming that two people confirmed this claim.

Tamra went to Shannon’s room because she was nervous. Since Shannon was siding with her, Tamra felt good about where they were at.

Meanwhile, Gretchen filled Jenn in on the roofie claim, while Tamra told Heather, Gina, and Emily. “I don’t trust Katie, but I think Tamra’s an all-opportunity kind of girl,” Gina said in her confessional. Then, Katie arrived at Gretchen’s room. Apparently, Slade Smiley, Gretchen’s fiancé, and Matt talked. And Katie’s husband called her. Finally, Gretchen asked Katie if she went to a blogger about the false roofie story.

Of course, Katie denied it. “I feel like this has all been a plan since the very beginning to make me look like a bad person,” Katie said in her confessional. “Why is she doing this to me?”

At dinner, Tamra pulled Gretchen aside and asked if Gretchen had already talked to Katie about the roofie story. Gretchen explained that Katie denied it and that she believed her. Incoming! Katie joined the duo’s super-secret chat.

Katie told Tamra that she never spoke to Kiki Monique about that claim. When asked who told Tamra that information, Tamra replied, “Someone who doesn’t want to be named.” Interesting.

When Gretchen admitted that she wasn’t sure what happened, Tamra walked into the dining room. “Oh my God!” Tamra exclaimed. “Gretchen f*cking believes Katie!” What an entrance. When Katie and Gretchen returned to the table, Shannon went off.

“Every single person at this table, except Jenn, you have hurt,” Shannon told Katie. “And I’ve owned it when I’ve done something wrong,” Katie calmly responded. Shannon screeched, “Stop lying! I can’t stand you!” Yikes!

Then Gretchen pointed out that she hasn’t seen any proof. “And this person’s done so much sh*t to me, so you really think I’m just going to believe this sh*t?” Gretchen said of Tamra. “No!”

Seizing her moment, Jenn asked Tamra to see the photo of her that Tamra showed Heather. “I don’t care about that,” Tamra said, noting that she was “retaliating” against Jenn. Tamra added that Jenn contacted her “in 2013 as a fan.”

Tamra’s wild accusation prompted Jenn to say, “Are we on something? You’re not even making sense.” Something was definitely off with Tamra.

So, Gretchen asked about the start of Jenn and Tamra’s feud. Tamra fired back, “It’s none of your f*cking business.” Then Tamra told Katie to “f*ck off” for asking Jenn a question.

“Okay, you know what? Tamra, you’re being rude,” Gina said. “And you’re sloshed.” Then, Shannon recalled how Tamra came into her room with what she said was water, but it didn’t look clear.

Tamra silently left the table. In the corridor, a producer asked her, “Are you okay?” She tearfully replied, “I just want to go home.” Heather went out to speak with her friend. After launching  into a rant about Gretchen, she told Heather to “f*ck off.”

Finally, Tamra ended up at a bar on her phone. In her confessional, she said, “I feel not loved and not wanted. And I just don’t think there’s a place for me in this group.”

However, Tamra wasn’t done. She texted Gina, “F*ck off. You were out of line.” Then she texted Heather, “I’m out. Gina crossed the line.”

Next, Gina noticed that Tamra posted on her Instagram. “It was a long run! When life gives you real problems, this reality sh*t doesn’t make sense. Peace out. I’m out,” she wrote. Then she asked Eddie Judge, her husband, to book her a flight. “I’m out. I don’t need this,” Tamra stated. “Bye!”

Then “To be continued” flashed on the screen.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
