What happened in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 Episode 6?
Carmella addressed her trust issues with her boyfriend, Danny. Later, the ladies hit up Las Vegas, where Shannon had issues with her room. And Heather was called out after making an odd request.
Gina questions her friendship with Emily
Emily, Tamra, and Vicki hung out, discussing the previous night’s dinner. “I was very surprised when she said I threw her under the bus,” Emily said of Gina. “She was very vocal about her opinion about Carmella.”
Meanwhile, Heather, Gina, and Carmella met for lunch. Naturally, Gina grilled Carmella about the job that she offered Jenn. “She goes, ‘I’ve thought about getting into real estate.’ And I said, ‘You should try a project with me, and I’ll show you what I do,’” Carmella explained.
In her confessional, Gina expressed some doubts about Jenn’s new venture. “What Carmela does requires capital, and Jenn doesn’t have that capital to support that kind of business.” She added, “It’s kind of skipping a couple steps. And I also feel like Carmella should know that.”
As for what Carmella’s boyfriend does for work? “He is a general contractor,” Carmella shared, and they “have worked together in the past.” She added, “We tend to fight, and I don’t think it’s fair to my kids to bring that home.”
During lunch, Heather shared that Shannon complained about Gina during last night’s dinner. “I was waiting to talk to Carmella,” Gina explained. “It was like Shannon just kept wanting to speak for her, and it was irritating.”
Next, the ladies discussed how Emily managed to upset Vicki, Heather, and Gina. “I’ve never questioned Emily’s loyalty to me, ever,” Gina said in her confessional. “And it does feel like when I’m not in rooms right now, she is talking about me. And that’s an icky feeling.”
Relationship troubles plague the RHOC cast
Emily and her husband, Shane, have moved their teenager, Annabelle, into a room downstairs because their twin boys need their own rooms. And let’s say that Annabelle wasn’t a happy camper.
Dealing with their son Luke’s health difficulties and his brother Keller acting out has taken a toll on the couple’s marriage. “It’s hard to find joy in each other. There aren’t a lot of soft things going on in my heart or soul,” Emily admitted in her talking head. “It’s very contentious right now.”
Elsewhere, Carmella and her boyfriend, Danny, chatted about their relationship. “When I was 36, I was diagnosed with late-onset adult diabetes. It was definitely shocking to get the diagnosis,” Carmella said in her confessional. “It affects every little thing that you do.”
When Carmella mentioned the Vegas trip, Danny asked if the ladies had been discussing him. In her talking head, Carmella stated, “It’s been about four years since Danny’s infidelity. I do love him. I do want to live life with him.” She continued, “I do need to learn how to forgive. And not just for him, for myself.”
She told Danny, “It’s hard. I’ve got a lot of anger.” While Danny is trying to rebuild their relationship, in Carmella’s eyes, he “does things that break trust, like lies.”
“I’m not ever getting over it. I may get through it, but I’m not getting over it,” Carmella remarked. “We’re in a relationship that has been severely fractured.”
The Showgirls of Orange County
Before leaving for the trip, Emily was mad at Shane and fell off an E-Bike, injuring her knee. As for Carmella? She has a fear of flying.
“I’m very OCD. I don’t like to leave my kids, or my dogs, or my home. Like, I’m always afraid something is going to happen,” Carmella said in her confessional. “Sometimes I struggle getting out of the house.”
When the group landed, they were met by a pink limousine and a showgirl. These OC ladies will become Vegas showgirls for a day. There were sequins and pink feathers everywhere! And yes, Shannon did stumble a bit during the dance routine.
As they were getting ready, Emily asked Jenn, “If Ryan showed up and said, ‘Let’s go to the Little Chapel and get married,’ would you do it?” Jenn replied, “I want my kids there.”
Eventually, Gina and Emily had the chance to chat alone. “Heather brought up that it bothers her that we room together,” Gina told her bestie. “She doesn’t have the control,” Emily added. It seems that Heather’s jealousy has turned Gina and Emily off.
The ladies stayed in the Sky Villas at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. There was one single suite, and Emily called that for her and Gina. In a flashback, Heather told Tamra, “I told Gina that she and Emily can’t stay together.” And Tamra added, “I agree with that.” But why?
The rooming assignments ended up being Carmella, Tamra, and Vicki staying in one suite, and Shannon, Jenn, and Heather sharing the other. “And then Gina and I will take the other room,” Emily announced.
Is Heather jealous?
“What is going on with Heather?” Gina asked as they settled into their room. “What is she doing? Trying to break us up?” Emily asked.
Then, the conversation turned to the recent dinner spat between the twosome. “You are a very strong personality, and sometimes, like when you were defending yourself, you are very aggressive,” Gina said.
And then she asked Emily why she told Carmella about Gina’s comments about the Dior bag. “It wasn’t to, like, throw you under the bus,” Emily insisted. They made up quickly.
Meanwhile, Shannon complained that her room was too close to the elevator and feared “electromagnetic radiation.” So, she wanted to switch with Heather, who refused because she already unpacked. Of course, Shannon headed over to Vicki and Tamra’s suite to complain.
At dinner, Emily brought her Dior clutch from Carmella. Shannon tried to clear up the issue of her speaking for Carmella. “You got so angry, and then you shut me up,” Shannon told Gina. “I have every right to speak as much as you do.”
Gina apologized, and Carmella thanked them both. Then, Gina brought up Heather’s feelings about Emily and Gina rooming together. Jenn jumped in, saying that Emily and Gina have “a buddy system.” Oh, the horror!
“It feels like you’re trying to control everything, Heather,” Gina said. Heather apologized and added, “Boundary set.” In her confessional, Fancy Pants stated, “Every single person feels the same way, but I’m the one speaking up. It is annoying and ridiculous.”
Then, Emily brought up how Heather talks all the time about not having a buddy. “I’m paired up with Heather,” Shannon said. Of course, the topic of room selection came up. In the end, Jenn decided to swap rooms with Shannon to keep the peace.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays, 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the next day.
