Hello, baby gorgeous! Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 1. A quick refresher from last season … Whitney fought with Lisa over the rumor that she white-labeled her jewelry from Alibaba. Newbie Bronwyn knew how to hit ‘em where it hurt, like assigning Lisa to seat 17C. Meredith and Angie still weren’t in a good place, while Mary gave an Emmy-worthy scene with her son. So, what do the ladies have in store for us this time around? Let’s grab a Fresquila (made with Vida, of course) and find out! Here’s exactly what went down in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 1: “Hot Dogs and Hearsay.”
What happened in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 1?
Angie cemented her place in RHOSLC history by securing the center snowflake two seasons in a row. So, it’s only fitting she was the one to bring everyone together. However, no one expected her “Class A Getaway” to be camping at an RV park. This shook the group, but not as much as Lisa blowing them off to work and hang out with Hollywood royalty instead. The supposed ghost of Molly Sorensen became an unofficial Friend of as she was talked about almost as much as Lisa. The ladies then left the safety of their RV to find evidence of this vengeful spirit, only to get lost in the darkness, Blair Witch style. We are so back!
A SWAT team “arrested” Whitney
Only on RHOSLC would they kick off a brand new season like a horror film. Grainy footage of happy times within the group played, giving an ominous vibe of something bad to come. Mary hauntingly narrated, “When trust is gone, fear takes over … and friend turns against friend.”
Suddenly, we switch to black and white, with the cast wandering a railroad track in the night. The upcoming feuds flashed on the screen. Mary warned, “And that’s how the witch hunt begins.” Welp, I’m ready to binge all the episodes right now.
The spooky vibe was put on pause as we jump to a wet and dreary day with Angie picking up Mary in a giant RV. The two planned a “bikini, boots, and blessings” trip and promised the girls it was going to be glamorous. If you liked RV camping, that is. Angie thought cramming everyone into an RV would be ideal for them get back on track. She shared, “There’s nowhere to run; there’s nowhere to hide. It’s you, your closest friends, and your closest frenemies.”
Meanwhile, the ladies, sans Lisa, were waiting to be picked up. When Angie and Mary pulled up in the RV, Bronwyn muttered, “Oh, for f*ck’s sake.” Britani flashed her bikini and wondered what exotic locale they were traveling to. The group looked at her like she had four eyes for taking the invite literally.
Once everyone accepted their fate and settled in, a SWAT team assembled around the RV. It was Jen Shah all over again. Or was it? Whitney was called outside and had handcuffs slapped on her wrists. Everyone’s was scared until the men started to dance and take off their clothes. Whitney smiled at her prank. Now that’s how you start a girls’ trip.
Did Lisa know she’s besties with Britani?
As the group enjoyed their mini donuts, Twizzlers, and hard liquor, Heather asked the million-dollar question. Where was Lisa? Angie mumbled that Lisa had a work thing. Which was partially true.
Earlier, Lisa had FaceTimed Angie and told her she was not going to spend the night with Bronwyn because she is a “pathological liar.” And besides, she had a work event and was going to hang out with Blake Lively and Ben Affleck instead. Sure, Jan.
Whitey didn’t buy that Lisa was working. But Lisa had an ardent defender in Britani. Britani told Whitney, “You’re one to talk. Your business is getting dragged like crazy on social media.” Reports of an alleged MLM scheme flooded the screen. Whitney kept it classy and asked if Britani made her money by sucking d*ck. The RV driver was loving the free entertainment.
Britani pulled out her half of her best friend’s forever heart necklace and said she was going to defend Lisa against these falsehoods. Heather was perplexed at this newfound friendship and doubted Lisa felt the same way.
But the battle was put on hold once they entered the Provo River Resort RV Park. Their jaws dropped one by one as they drove past dumpsters and abandoned vehicles. Mary said, “We’re not just in nature, we’re in the trenches … It looks like it’s haunted.” Foreshadowing!
The ladies walked across the muck to their picnic table to eat ice-cold sandwiches and iceberg lettuce salad. They couldn’t have looked more miserable. Britani stood up to make an announcement and got several groans until she pulled out some camcorders for the group.
Soon they were all joking around, filming themselves and having fun. And everything was good until Angie brought up that Lisa wasn’t there.
The mystery of the $4 million necklace was solved
It was go time for Angie, Bronwyn, and Whitney to rally the troops against Lisa. Mary wasn’t hard to sway, but Heather, Meredith, and Britani stood their ground. Bronwyn brought up the lawsuits against Lisa, which was quickly shut down by Heather and Meredith. Angie then upped the ante and threw it out there that Lisa’s actions were like Jen Shah’s.
Heather told Angie to slow her roll. She said to Angie and Bronwyn, “This is blowing my goddamn mind to be honest. You’re comparing LB to Jen Shah, and you two are like bonding over this.” Bronwyn then pulled a Britani: “But what about me?” and noted that Heather didn’t stick up for her when Lisa compared her to Jen.
Heather schooled Bronwyn, “I have a relationship with you based on this, and what I have on you is not great. I’m not going to sit here and have you tell me all this sh*t about Lisa’s business when you just got caught red-handed lying about a $4 million necklace.” Dun, dun, duuun!
In her confessional, Bronwyn explained what happened. She said, “I knew I wasn’t going to buy this necklace, but I made the girls believe that I had it by saying, ‘When I wear it, you’ll see it,’ thinking I would get a different version and they wouldn’t notice the difference. That is in effect lying.” Mystery solved, folks.
The fight continued, going back to Lisa. Bronwyn said, “I’m not saying she’s a liar. I’m not saying she owes that money. I’m not saying she stole it; she’s a fraud…” Heather jumped in, “You’re saying all of that!”
Meredith slammed her gavel; the court was adjourned and they needed to talk to Lisa directly. And then came Britani’s announcement.
Heather and Bronwyn made peace … for now
“Ding, ding, ding! I have an announcement.” The groans returned. Britani said, “Jared and I got engaged.” And just as that started to sink in, she added, “And we got unengaged.” However, they were still seeing each other. Womp, womp.
Next up on the agenda was fly fishing or kayaking. Britani, Angie, Mary, and Meredith went fly fishing, while Whitney, Heather, and Bronwyn went kayaking instead. Over by the stream, the instructors told the ladies to get dressed in their waders, aka “giant garbage bags.” Only the best for this group.
Meredith joked, “I don’t know anything about fish other than that’s where I get my caviar.” She kept asking the instructor how long it takes to catch a fish. They said, “We call it fishing, not catching.” Meanwhile, Mary wondered if she could save the fish by giving them CPR. Bless.
Whitney decided to “Parent Trap” Bronwyn and Heather by putting them in the same kayak. Their kayaks bumped into branches, and rocks, and went backwards. But they had the most fun of the group. Bronwyn joked, “Who knew it could be this simple to be friends with Heather? I just have to literally sit behind her … and not make eye contact, and we’ll get along just fine.”
Afterwards, Heather asked the park ranger if this was the place where the “legend of Molly Sorensen” happened. And it was confirmed. Heather explained that “Molly” was a fundamentalist Mormon who would bring girls up to the canyon to see if they would sin with their boyfriends. Then she would kidnap and sacrifice them. Lovely.
The instructor claimed he’d heard screams in the night. He advised Heather to stay close to their fire tonight. And of course, they did the exact opposite.
The hunt for the spirit of Molly Sorensen was on during Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
If there’s one thing Angie made known this episode, it’s that she clearly does not do any grocery shopping. She brought hotdogs with no buns or condiments, frozen veggie burgers, and a bag of asparagus for dinner. And they had to cook these over an open flame. Mary grabbed a stale bagel instead.
Heather shared the news that she and Bronwyn had made amends. Angie wondered, “Do you think it’s just fun that we’re on a trip without Lisa and you could actually just be yourself?” An annoyed Heather said it would have happened whether Lisa was there or not.
Whitney then admitted the real drama about her business. She said, “I had a business that failed. That’s it. Justin went all in with me, and now we have nothing.” When Britani tried to give Whitney a hug, she recoiled.
Britani then complained Whiney hasn’t apologized for the d*ck sucking comment. As there were no tomatoes, the group threw asparagus at her to get off the stage. Meredith was the most vocal, which shocked Britani since they were “good friends.” Meredith said, “I find you to be absolutely uninteresting, and I have zero respect for you.”
And on that note, it was time to bring it back to the beginning. Night vision from their camcorders showed them wandering away to find evidence of Molly Sorensen. However, soon they were lost and fighting. Meredith ran off as her camcorder tumbled to the ground. Did Molly grab her? To be continued…
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
