The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Happy birthday week.
-Whoo!
-Thank you, thanks.
[Lisa] I met Jen a little
over a year ago at a party,
and she is a feisty one.
Hi.
-How was your recruiting?
-Long.
My husband is a football coach.
Did you guys say thank you?
Thank you, Daddy.
We have to FaceTime a lot.
A FaceTime marriage, if that was a thing.
Who have you told that we are separated?
[Meredith] There's not one thing
I can say that really
triggered our separation over the years
it just broke down.
Not like I'm running around
talking about this to everyone.
[chanting] Grindr, Grindr, Grindr.
[laughs]
Her vagina is in my face.
I get a text from Meredith.
"Hey, Jen, I need to cancel the sleepover
because Chloe wants to spend
time with me."
Is Mary Cosby coming to this?
-Yeah.
-Oh, Lord, have mercy.
I like Mary.
I went to her church with Meredith.
[Jen] For Meredith to go to Mary's church,
Meredith knows what has gone on
between Mary and I.
This is a personal dig against me.
You said,
"It smells like hospital in here."
I did say it. I sure did say it.
Mary M. Cosby, I'm watching you.
-Your party has how many people?
-About 30.
I love a good theme.
Too much vulva!
Your best friend is around the corner.
Ready? Or do you need a cocktail first?
I've had, like, ten cocktails in the car.
In this town, I'm Queen Bee and MVP.
When you take cheap shots,
always expect a hangover.
This rose isn't scared
to handle a little prick.
Jealousy is a disease to which I say,
"Get well soon."
I love God, but I will read you
like a scripture.
Just like my pioneer ancestors,
I'm trying to blaze a new trail.
[1920s style music playing]
[whooping and cheering]
I need money. I need money.
I just have 20s.
[cheering]
-What is in there? Water?
-Water.
-Straight vodka, Mary.
-[laughs]
Oh, hi!
Come sit.
[background chatter]
Meredith, can you come over here
with me for a minute?
Sure.
[indistinct conversations]
Okay.
I got you. I'll keep it safe.
Plus, I'm freezing.
Do you need assistance, or you got it?
I'm sorry. My train is a little long.
It's a lot of dress to carry. [laughs]
But it's very on point. It's perfect.
So maybe I'm feeling a little bit
insecure,
but we had the sleepover planned,
and then my feelings were hurt
when you sent me the text,
and you were like,
"Chloe's leaving tomorrow."
It's true. Chloe is leaving tomorrow,
and I do want to spend time with her.
I really wanna have fun tonight.
Let's have a conversation
when we're not at Whitney's party,
and I'll get into more detail
and explain a little bit more to you.
As a friend to Jen,
I'm just trying to spare her
the embarrassment
of explaining my kids' discomfort.
Chloe and I saw parts of that woman
that we never need to see again.
I don't wanna hurt her feelings.
So, really, the party gets over
at midnight,
and you have to go home to be with Chloe?
Well, yeah. I am spending time with them.
No, I get that, but I know
you've been hanging out with Mary
and going to her church
and all this stuff,
and I'm like, maybe she just
doesn't wanna hang out with me
because she's friends with Mary,
and Mary will get mad
if we were having a sleepover.
I don't engage
in other people's conflicts.
Unless I feel like I can help resolve it.
I don't think I can help resolve
what's going on with you and Mary.
Um, so I would not even engage.
If you wanna be Mary's whatever,
that's fine.
-But I just wanna know
-It's between you and Mary.
-I don't care. I'm not asking
-I don't take sides.
You don't take sides?
So you're gonna be Switzerland
for the rest of your life?
Don't you have an opinion?
You're a smart woman. You have an opinion
of what's right and what's wrong, right?
What you say happens,
what she says happens
are two different things.
Are you serious right now?
I've been, like, your friend
-before you knew her.
-I'm not saying that.
I don't know why
this is going back to Mary.
She has nothing to do with any of it,
and I'm not even getting you.
What is Jen even talking about?
This woman is unhinged.
You're not getting this?
You're upset that I speak to Mary?
No, because you're my friend,
and if anybody did anything to you,
I would back you 1,000%.
Jen might need us.
Oh, I'm not messing with that.
[bleep] that.
I've known Jen for years,
and I know this look,
and she is pissed.
Once she's pissed, she blacks out,
and there is nothing you can do.
Am I supposed to be mean to Mary
because you and Mary
-got in an argument?
-No, I'm not saying
you're supposed to be mean to Mary,
but how are you my friend
if somebody hurt not only me,
but my family?
You're, like, okay, with it?
That's not okay with me.
And, yes, it's hurting my feelings.
Meredith and I have grown
very close over the last year,
and so it's even more frustrating
because not only does she not understand,
but I feel like she's being dismissive.
It's another knife in the back.
Where's the friendship?
Where's the loyalty here?
What I saw with you and Mary
was the two of you crying
and telling each other
that you love each other
and that you were both sorry.
I would never wanna hurt you.
Come here. Please? Like, really?
That's what I saw.
Well, that's not it!
If I can make eye contact with her,
I'll go over.
-Okay.
-If I can't,
I'm gonna wait for
my lollipop chicken drumsticks.
Only reason I accepted her [bleep] apology
is because it was your birthday!
You mean more to me than that bull[bleep].
I'm totally confused.
It's been weeks since my birthday,
and I've heard nothing else about it.
I thought everything was fine.
Even if there was a problem,
we are not ten.
We are in our forties.
Nobody should be dictating
who can be friends with who.
If you don't like it, not my problem.
-Jen and Meredith, is everything okay?
-Jen's upset with Meredith.
I'm wondering, as the host of the party,
-do I need to go and find out?
-I'll go.
You think she's a [bleep] good friend?
Good luck with that [bleep], Meredith.
Good luck.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, simmer down,
simmer down. It's a party.
I'm about real friends, Lisa.
Okay, this is just not productive.
I think I'm not I'm done
engaging in the conversation.
-You know what?
-This is not productive.
That's what you always do.
Thank you. I'm disengaging.
I'm not engaging.
-Are you serious?!
-Okay, listen
You're gonna go with Mary,
who [bleep] her grandfather?
[dramatic music]
You can't say that. That's not okay.
That's the truth. Oh, am I lying?
I heard that.
Thank you for telling me
and showing me who you are.
You can call me whatever you want.
Clearly, there's something
about me you find fascinating,
because I'm always in your mouth.
I [bleep] a grandpa, big deal.
But if it was my grandpa
that I was married to,
I would not want my friend
to yell that at me at a party.
[Whitney] That's just rude.
Whether it's true or not, that's rude.
Like, who talks like that?
I'm telling you right now.
You can either be on my side
or not on my side.
No more tequila, though.
Okay, no problem.
Go hang out with weird-ass Mary Cosby
-that married her [bleep] grandfather
-Listen
-Did all this [bleep], and that's better?
-Oh, Jen, Jen
-Don't say that.
-Really? Are you kidding me?
I don't need to be yelled at.
And I don't need to be yelled at
about my relationships
that don't even concern her.
Listen, listen, I don't like
that you're sad.
I love Meredith.
Meredith is like my sister too.
I love you both. There are no sides.
No one's picking Jen or Mary. No one.
Is there any way
[bleep] you!
I've had enough.
Yeah, you should probably [bleep] leave!
Right [bleep] now!
Jen has a history of freaking
the [bleep] out.
Disrespecting family?
Are you [bleep] kidding me right now?
-It's just a dig.
-And she's at my goddamn [bleep] house?
That's why I go check on her,
is out of pure fear.
Go [bleep] yourself. [bleep] you.
-I don't give a [bleep].
-'Cause I don't want her
to freak out at me
for not checking on her.
-Hey, come here.
-Oh, no, I'm out.
Did you all have fun tonight?
Okay, thank you!
I don't tolerate women
swearing and yelling at me.
No, no, no.
I'm gonna call Sharrieff
and ask him where he's at.
Okay.
I don't engage with women
who treat me that way.
Babe, I need you to come.
I need to leave here.
Where are you?
[bleep]
-Are you gonna go?
-Yeah, I'm gonna go.
Keep your hands to yourselves
for the love of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, okay?
[Heather] I mean, this is a crazy night.
Between the strippers
and the grandpa [bleep] and the drinking,
it's a good thing our
Mormon friends weren't here.
Their skin and flesh would
melt off of their faces in horror.
I'll be back. No one Hey.
Don't clear the burger.
Guard the burger
and the lollipop drumsticks.
Sharrieff, where are you?
[bleep]
-You gonna go?
-Yeah. I'm gonna go.
Did you all have fun tonight?
Okay! Thank you!
-I'm getting my [bleep] outta here.
-Jen!
-Jen!
-Don't yell at me!
Shut the [bleep] up!
Sharrieff's not here yet.
Girl, what is going on?
-Stop it! He's two minutes away!
-Go!
I wanna go to the [bleep] home!
[Heather] This is bad, guys.
Coach Shah, where you at?
Okay, I'm gonna have you turn.
You're gonna see me.
I look like a flapper with cankles.
Listen, I've known Jen for a long time.
The best way of dealing with Jen
when she's on a rampage
is not react.
You express love and support,
and then end it and move on.
Gonna be okay. Your man's got you.
I told him what's going down.
You're passionate.
You're feeling it all right now.
But you know what? You're okay.
You got your man. It's gonna be okay.
You get her home. I love you. Bye.
[bleep] Meredith.
[sobbing]
[Whitney] Did you enjoy the 1920s party?
I actually really did
until the end of the night.
It was crazy. Like, what did you
think about Jen and Meredith?
I mean, I saw the storm brewing.
She started getting confrontational
and was yelling at me,
asking me, like, how can I be
friends with Mary?
[Whitney]
Jen got really upset at Meredith.
And me.
She called me a grandfather MFer.
That shocked me.
I told Jen, "Shh, shh."
What she was saying to Mary
was totally inappropriate,
like should not have been said.
No one should speak to another
human being in that way.
Scares the [bleep] out of me.
I-I was scared to, like,
not leap up and, like, comfort her
because I didn't want her to be mad at me.
The only thing I do know
is that she needs to apologize
for the way she spoke to me.
-Apparently, she hates me.
-I honestly don't know why
she has such a big problem
with you because
Because she wants to be the big dog.
[bright music]
-Hello!
-Hello! How are you?
-Hi. How are you?
-So good to see you.
Good to see you, too. Oh, my gosh.
-Welcome. How are things?
-Amazing. Thank you.
-You look gorgeous.
-Oh, thank you. You too.
[Meredith] Thank you so much
for coming by the house.
-Oh, my gosh, of course.
-You see what I
-need a little assistance with?
-Yes.
-You need to refresh it.
-Hi, girls.
-Hello!
-My soul sister.
I can't even take it. Mmm!
What are you thinking for the house?
-Well
-We definitely need some extra opinions.
-Oh, I love giving my opinion.
-[laughs]
I just moved into this house
a couple months ago,
and it still does not feel like my home.
I don't feel settled in it.
It needs a little part of me.
That's very cool.
I like modern and clean lines,
monochromatic,
from my clothes to my home,
everything. [laughs]
[Maren] This could be a possibility.
That is so cool. Can I touch?
This is also really fun.
This is an LED piece.
Love that. Can I touch?
-No?
-Uh [laughs]
-Maybe the other side.
-Oh, is it safe? Okay.
This could be really beautiful.
-Put all of these layers.
-That is can I touch?
And the acrylic. You're my toucher girl.
Yeah. Don't you know
it's "Look, don't touch"?
-I know.
-That's the rule. [laughs]
What? I like to touch.
Now that you have seen the pieces
we're thinking about,
why don't you take it all in, relax.
Let me get you guys some sodas,
then you can wander through.
[Lisa] Oh, my God. That party was crazy.
I don't wanna get into that right now.
[sighs] There's something
I have to tell you.
-No, you have to tell me.
-I'm kind of dreading telling you.
I don't why I've been, like,
dreading telling you this.
-Why?
-I don't know.
Um So
-Are you gonna make me cry?
-No. Well, I hope not.
-Okay, okay.
-I don't know. You might cry.
Okay.
Seth and I have been separated
on and off for a little while.
And
-I'm gonna cry.
-Don't cry,
-'cause then you're gonna make me cry.
-Oh, my gosh.
Lisa and her family
are very close with my family.
That's why I kind of held off
on telling her.
Okay, I'm not gonna cry.
I'm not gonna cry.
I didn't wanna upset her.
I didn't want her feeling like
she had to take sides.
Oh, my gosh.
I love you two more than anything.
Are you okay?
[voice breaking]
I am here for you no matter what.
[whispers] Thank you.
And really, for us, it's like you give in,
and you have the kids,
and everything becomes
-Everything's about them.
-so focused on them
-Mm-hmm.
-that you kind of lose
your dynamic together.
And so we just need to regroup,
and we've been kind of
-dating each other.
-I love that.
And hopefully,
we can be strong again together.
I'm here for you. I understand.
You've gotta do what's best for each other
and for your family.
-If you can make it work, make it work.
-I know. We're trying.
This is hard for me to swallow because
our families are very close.
We used to train Jack in basketball.
I helped plan Chloe's bat mitzvah.
You know, to me they're just like
this awesome, beautiful family.
I would have never thought there
was, like, anything wrong.
Hold on a second.
-I'm, like, trying hard not to cry.
-Don't cry.
Meredith Marks is messing up my makeup.
Ah.
Does anyone else in our little circle know
-about, like, you and Seth?
-Just Jen.
Just know I'm not gonna talk
about it with anyone.
It's not like it's a secret,
but I do appreciate that.
Yeah. What can I do for you?
I'm dead serious. What can I do for you?
-I love you.
-I love you so much.
Oh, my gosh, Mer. [sniffles]
-Don't cry, please.
-I love you two together.
-That's no Seth
-I've cried so much.
-I can't cry anymore.
-There's no I know.
I'm trying not to.
I actually like my makeup today, too.
[laughs] Don't ruin your makeup.
[laughs]
[upbeat music]
[doorbell rings]
-Hello, beautiful.
-Hi, gorgeous.
-How are you?
-My gosh, so good to see you.
-You have packages outside.
-I do?
-Yeah, you have two.
-I'm surprised there's not more.
Okay, it looks gorgeous in here.
Are we still celebrating Christmas?
Well, we have to break it down.
-Beautiful. Looks magical.
-Thank you.
I've seen my fair share of homes
living in Utah for almost 20 years.
To me, Mary's house is a little disjointed
from her personal style.
When I look at Mary, I'm like,
she's so put together,
so chic, best style,
and then it's a little different,
like, more eclectic.
Not quite Utah eclectic,
but definitely eclectic.
-[Lisa, singsongy] There's Robert.
-Hi, babe.
[Mary] Hi.
So what'd you buy
your girlfriend for Christmas?
[Mary] You have to tell me.
You have to tell me.
And you didn't even ask.
A Prada purse.
How do you not with a mom like that?
She set the bar
for what's acceptable for girls.
-No. [laughs]
-It's all your fault, Mary.
For Valentine's Day,
he bought her a chinchilla.
And then for her birthday,
he bought her a dog.
But a Prada purse?
That's way more
than he's ever gotten for me.
And how long do you think
you guys are gonna be together?
'Cause that Prada purse is gonna
last way longer than your relationship.
Do you have an idea what you wanna do?
I want to be a fashion designer, but
-Oh, amazing.
-But what?
I don't know what else.
You wanted to be
a brain surgeon your entire life.
-Yeah.
-You don't know what else?
You don't wanna be
a brain surgeon no more?
-Not anymore.
-At all?
-No.
-You don't wanna help people?
-Wow, you've changed.
-[laughs] Mary.
-That girl's changed you.
-That's a lot of pressure.
[clicks teeth] Love you.
He would be good in fashion
'cause, like, already the vibe is good.
-Oh, yeah. Yeah.
-The vibe is solid.
So what did you think of
Whitney's party Saturday?
Well, I was, like, shocked.
I didn't know that they had
burlesque dancers.
-I was like
-I know.
-What was that?
-That was actually cute. [laughs]
Whitney loves a good theme, and
Well, she likes poles.
Not to be judged. It's just the truth.
-I feel like she likes poles.
-[laughs] Mary. Oh, my gosh.
I like events that are intimate.
-Me, too.
-And I like just the girls.
-Lounge-y, intimate, yeah.
-To be together
and with the girls to, like,
iron stuff out.
And I'm gonna throw a luncheon
to show that.
And just, like, we get to dress up formal.
-Elegant, we do, like the
-I love that. I love that.
But yet, like, be real.
-Mm-hmm.
-Just be real and talk to each other.
I wanna do this luncheon for us
to, like, hear each other.
These women don't listen.
So I'm breaking that yoke
with this luncheon
in a formal, fun my style way.
I don't know what girl
wouldn't love to dress up
and look pretty, and so I
why not do a Met Gala?
-Who is all coming?
-You, Meredith
-Okay.
-Whitney, Heather.
When I think of Met Gala,
I think of, like,
like over the top, like, ostrich feathers.
Um uh, I think of, like, costume gown.
Like, that feeling of dressing up,
'cause we don't in Utah.
I would love to invite Jen,
but I can't deal with the outbreaks.
And I don't understand 'em.
Well, she went from zero to a hundred.
She's so angry at me,
and I don't know why.
Do you Do you understand why?
I don't. See, I-I couldn't
figure that out either.
-I'm like
-I don't know.
Where is this coming from?
What do you think it is?
It's a competition at the end of the day.
Oh. Competition's never healthy.
[exhales deeply]
It's hard being Mary right now
because I'm going back and forth
on the invite with Jen.
I wanna sit down with people
I enjoy and that enjoy me.
Why would I invite someone
who could say things about me
that's not valid?
I've been called a lot of different names.
However, never that
the "grandfather MFer."
That's That's a low blow,
and it does sting.
What do you think would happen?
If you don't invite her,
worse is invite her
Well, I feel like it's more good
to invite her.
That way she can't say,
"Well, she didn't invite me."
But it's a lose situation if I do
because she's gonna be the Debbie Downer.
It really is a struggle
because if I do invite her,
I'm doing the right thing by me,
and I know that if I don't invite her,
then it looks like I'm in this with her.
-It's a no-win situation.
-That's why I love you.
-Yeah.
-I think it's a no-win-win situation.
[moody music]
[Heather] Annabelle!
Get your shoes and backpack.
[doorbell rings]
[knock on door]
Girl, come in.
I'm so glad you made it.
-Can I take your coat?
-Sure.
[Heather] It's beautiful.
[doorbell rings]
-[music warps off]
-Oh, I ordered sushi.
God bless you and the sushi.
Here, take that.
-Okay.
-I'll answer the door.
I don't think I've ever hung out with Jen
where she hasn't brought snacks,
ordered someone to get her snacks,
ordered food or had food prepared.
-Really good.
-I'm gonna pass.
Do you want protein?
You got cookies? I'm on the keto diet.
-Not really.
-You're not.
I need you to pack me snacks in my cute
-Here's some
-fanny pack.
-Oh, yeah.
-Yes.
It's like she's a toddler,
and she has to have her sippy cup
and her fruit snacks,
or all hell's gonna break loose.
I'm a brown girl. I eat.
Wanna eat it out of these, or want plates?
We can eat it out of these.
-Go dark and dirty?
-Yeah.
-The way I like it?
-The way you like it.
-Black, tall, done.
-Okay.
And available.
Okay, well, how's the dating life going?
I've gone out with Cowboy a couple times.
-Who's Cowboy?
-He's a full-on cowboy.
-Is that sexy to you?
-Yeah.
She doesn't want a cowboy.
She don't wanna live on a farm.
I'm not visiting her on a farm.
What do you want for me?
I just wanna have fun.
I'm gonna make dinner
for the girlies while we
-Is that cool?
-Want help?
No, sit and talk while I make it.
-What are you making?
-Green bean casserole.
-Gonna leave that to you.
-Like green bean casserole?
I don't really get into
the casserole thing.
Talk to me about Saturday.
I have so many things
I wanna talk to you about.
-Oh, Lord.
-First of all, are you okay?
I'm okay. Do my lips look okay?
Physically, you're a dream.
-And that's all that matters.
-Emotionally, total mess.
[lively music]
[Heather] I have so many things
I wanna talk to you about.
-Oh, Lord.
-Well, first of all, are you okay?
-I'm okay. Do my lips look okay?
-Physically, you're a dream.
-And that's all that matters.
-Emotionally, total mess.
-What's going on?
-Exactly.
I'm, like, not dumb.
[laughs] I know that Jen's
behavior is absolutely crazy.
But she's also my friend.
I love you. I support you.
Girl, last week was just a hard week.
I'm just from a culture
of very well-behaved women,
and Jen is not afraid to misbehave,
and I've always wanted to be that person
and never been able to.
The whole football season, Sharrieff
it gets very hard, and I hold it together
to be a supportive wife and then
you you have to understand
I don't see him.
-No, I know that, yeah.
-He's doing P.R.,
-practice with the team.
-I can imagine.
And you know,
my dad's anniversary of his death is
-I can't even imagine, yeah.
-right here.
My dad passed away almost a year ago.
[heavy music]
[crying] I'm trying to be strong
'cause I have to be strong for everybody,
but it's really so hard.
I just want you to be proud of me.
I just want you to know that
it's okay that you're not here.
I'm gonna make sure everyone's okay.
I love you.
Ofa Atu, Daddy. I love you so much.
This has been the hardest thing
I've ever dealt with in my life.
Harder than Sharrieff being gone
and being away from my family.
I will automatically support him
and fall to the back burner.
Yeah, I mean, you're you seem
really good at that. Like
That's why I just I
the last, you know, whatever,
ten years, I've just dove into work.
Do you feel lonely or do you feel like
you've kind of put in your time and, like,
you're over it or like
100% I feel lonely. That's why
I mean, I put on a good front,
but, yeah, I'm lonely.
Sharrieff wasn't around
when my dad passed away.
He couldn't attend the funeral
because he had to go to a football game.
You know, I sucked it up like a good
football wife's supposed to do.
Okay, go play your game.
But he'll never understand
how much this hurt me.
It was just an emotional week,
and I was so looking forward to the party,
like it was the highlight of the week
because I'm like, okay
Yeah, well, your dress so beautiful.
When I looked over at you, I saw
you crying, and then Meredith left.
I wanted to talk to Meredith
because I'm loyal.
I'm all about
let's have each other's back.
If you're my friend, you're my friend.
I'm like, really,
what kind of friend are you?
I don't need friends like that.
Loyalty is everything to Jen,
and I know she's going through a lot,
and she really expects
Meredith to be there for her,
but she's putting way too much
on Meredith.
This isn't about Meredith
canceling the sleepover.
This is about her being
frustrated with Sharrieff
and not knowing what to do with her anger.
And I'm pissed because
I have invested a lot of time.
I put my own [bleep] time into her
and threw your ass an $85,000
[bleep] birthday party,
and this is how you treat me?
I [bleep] supported her
because she's going through
-her separation, and
-Wait. They're separating?
I didn't know they were separating.
They're separated
but only dating each other.
That's modern.
I've known this secret for months.
How's everything going with that?
So bizarre.
I don't know how to really explain it.
We're separated, but we're dating.
You know, we're both working on ourselves,
and hopefully we can get to a good place.
Right.
But now I feel very betrayed by Meredith.
I have been there for her.
So I'm like, if you're gonna betray me,
then I'm gonna go talk
to my friends about this.
I am totally shocked to hear
that Meredith and Seth are separated.
I mean, Meredith has been
cool as a cucumber,
and when I was separating from my husband,
I was in the fetal position in the dark.
So no more slumber parties with Meredith?
Live and learn.
I shouldn't have jumped into it.
But in many ways,
you are all in with Meredith.
You do back her in so many ways.
What I found out and why
it's bothering me so much
is because I thought Meredith
was a better friend, that's all.
And you thought Meredith was in
a different category, and she's not.
I thought she was in a different category.
[bouncy music]
[Mary] Okay, don't like this,
but it's okay.
You guys are gonna have to
move your bowls in more.
I mean, I get you guys
wanna decorate the table.
It's beautiful.
But you can't take over the table.
[chuckles] And then, Linda,
I want the gifts like this
in front of all of them.
I went with a Met Gala theme
because I love to dress up.
I like things beautiful.
I am particular
in where things are placed.
I just feel like people try
to show me their "experty,"
and I'm like, no.
Yeah. Do you guys know how to read?
-Because the names are upside down.
-Oh.
Yeah, it's okay. It's just it's just
a little major flaw, you know?
[exhales deeply]
Why are we missing one?
Whose name are we missing?
Lisa
Thank God it wasn't Jen.
Okay. Hallelujah.
I decided to invite Jen.
But even though I know she's
calling me "grandfather MFer,"
I knew that if I didn't invite her,
that would feed negativity,
and I felt like deep down,
it was the right thing to do.
Meredith sits by me. Lisa will be here.
Heather will be there,
and Jen Okay. I'm ready.
[upbeat music]
-[cellphone chimes]
-Baby.
Hi. How's it going there?
Oh, not so bad, not so bad.
I call Coach Shah for a pep talk
on a daily basis.
When you start your day off
with a Coach Shah pep talk,
it makes your day great.
I called to get my Coach Shah pep talk.
We need a pep talk because
I'm not feeling it right now.
The first Coach Shah pep talk that I got,
like, 28 years ago,
was that I needed to be aware of
my surroundings, my environment.
Where are your exit points, Jen?
I don't know.
I'm not in the CIA, Sharrieff.
I'm just coming into
the Louis Vuitton store.
I'm gonna go to this luncheon.
Remember I told you?
Right, I remember.
And Meredith's going to be there,
and you know, the last time I saw her
was at Whitney's 1920s party,
and I was super hurt.
Should I just go in there
and not say anything?
Yeah, it's not That's not the venue.
Be aware of situations
that can become hostile.
Be aware of your own temperament.
You control you.
You're the one that allows Jen
to get upset.
You're the one that makes Jen happy.
It's you. Your happiness
comes from within.
-I love you.
-Love you more, baby.
-Okay. Bismillah.
-Bye.
-Okay, I feel good, girls.
-[laughs]
I'm ready.
And let the Church of Shah say "amen."
-Yep. Amen.
-[laughs]
[bright music]
[Whitney] You're killing it.
-You like the outfit?
-Yeah, you look amazing.
But I mean, we did have to nail
quite a few different vibes.
Yeah.
New York Metropolitan Gala,
but a luncheon, also midday.
-You brought all the glam.
-All the glam.
Today's theme is the Met Gala,
which is very confusing to me,
because the Met Gala is a location,
and the theme changes every year.
Honestly, I'm not even sure that
Mary knows what the Met Gala is.
It just sounds fancy,
and so she put it on the invitation.
How do you think today's
gonna go with Jen and Mary
and Meredith and Jen?
I think Jen will make an entrance
and avoid Meredith as much as possible
and just kind of, like,
be assessing Mary's version of Met Gala.
They're gonna have that little
whole thing going on.
It's just gonna come to the point where
they're gonna have to cross paths,
and hopefully Jen will just
grab her hand and say,
"I'm sorry. There's stuff to talk about."
"Let's not talk about it now
and let's move on."
I'm really surprised
that Mary invited Jen.
If someone called me "Grandpa [bleep],"
I definitely would not be inviting them
to my Met Gala cocktail attire luncheon.
When Jen was at my house,
she told me that, um,
Meredith and Seth were, like,
separating right now,
and they're gonna date each other,
which was totally news to me.
Wait. So they're gonna separate
and date each other?
-They're separated.
-So are they dating other people?
I mean, I don't know.
I am shocked. I had no idea.
I have asked her so many times,
"How are you and Seth?"
"How's Seth? How's Seth and the kids?"
"Where's Seth? How is he?
Why isn't Seth here?"
And every time, she said,
"Everything's fabulous."
That is pretty big news. I had no idea.
Meredith is gonna
handle it in Meredith's way
-Right.
-Which is, like, very elegantly.
-Absolutely.
-Without any of the
Which I respect.
I wish I was more like that.
-I feel the same.
-You know?
[electronic music]
Cheers.
Thank you for a beautiful luncheon.
[glasses clink]
[chuckles]
[Valter inhales deeply] Mmm.
[Mary] Mm-hmm.
This wakes you up.
Oh, my gosh. I love it.
I love valet.
Wow, I think Mary really loves Christmas,
because she even brought
the toy soldiers to her party.
But I'm not sure
what that has to do with the Met Gala.
-Hello.
-You guys look amazing.
-Thank you.
-[laughs]
-I love your look.
-[laughs]
-I'm excited.
-I'm so excited.
Thank you. [gasps]
-Oh!
-It looks amazing.
Slow down, slow down.
-So gorgeous.
-Hi. Wait.
-You look gorgeous.
-Let me digest Lisa.
It's everything. Meredith Marks. Darling.
[Whitney] You know, I must have
dropped the ball because
I didn't have a red carpet at my event.
-I'm like
-Why didn't I think of that?
Look at these guys.
-Well, hello.
-Hello.
[Whitney] There's Beefeaters
and a red carpet
at noon in Salt Lake City.
What the [bleep] is going on here?
It makes no sense,
but it actually screams Mary.
There's a Versailles pen.
I want you to write something on there
that we can discuss
that we don't know about you.
-Okay.
-That open up to each other.
Oh, I love that.
I love that. This is so creative.
-Hello!
-[cork pops]
[squealing] Look at
your little breasty-breasts.
Flat stomach.
Mary is weird.
You guys are drinking Dom Pérignon 2003.
In 2003, there was a heat wave.
5,600 people died.
And it made the best grapes of all time.
Does everyone have their own
personal Louis Vuitton box?
Yes, you do.
But I am all in on Mary's luncheon.
Fabulous.
I love the betta fish on the table,
the journals, the pen,
the inscription, our names.
I love that there's Louis Vuitton.
-Thank you all for coming.
-I'm all in.
[energetic music]
It's beautiful, Mary. Thank you so much.
-Hi!
-Hi, Mrs. Shah.
-Welcome, Jen. How are you?
-Good. How are you?
You look Like, this is Hollywood, honey.
-You look beautiful.
-You do too.
-Hi.
-Hi.
I'm a bit apprehensive
about seeing Jen today.
I don't really know what
to expect from her.
What I think I should be getting
is an apology.
-Jen, um
-Mm-hmm.
-I made you a personalized pen.
-Pretty.
And I want you to write something in here
-Thank you.
-that you want us to know about you.
Okay.
Hmm. I think Mary made
the right decision inviting Jen
because I think Mary
has really big, kind heart,
and this is not big enough
for them not to be talking.
Like, their issues are not
big enough for these two girls
to not be able to move forward together.
Like, I would love to be in a space
where we can all have fun together,
and there's no drama.
Before we eat,
I want you guys to open your gift
because it's a bonding reflection
so that we all can stay in touch
with each other
and we can hear each other.
If you can open your gifts now,
it would be great.
-Oh, my gosh.
-Mary
I love this.
Oh, my gosh. The AirPods.
-Thank you, Mary.
-These are beautiful.
-Let's first do a prayer.
-I love that.
-Air touch?
-Air touch.
We're gonna pray.
Lord, in the name of Jesus, we come to you
in our faith, asking you
to bring us together as one,
-and ask you for a beautiful lunch today.
-Amen.
Thank you for this moment.
Thank you for these girls.
Thank you for Meredith, Jen, Whitney.
Thank you, God, for Lisa and Heather.
[whispers] Please.
We pray and we thank you
for everything we have.
Humbly in Jesus' name, thank you.
Amen. Sorry.
-That was so nice.
-I get emotional.
Please.
[bouncy music]
This is a crespelle egg Fiorentina,
and we serve this with the caviar.
And buon appetito.
I love caviar.
All of my favorite things on one plate.
-It's the best.
-It is. [laughs]
We made a tagliarelle with the last
white truffle in the house.
-$8,000 a pound.
-Oh, my gosh. Amazing.
-This is amazing.
-Oh, wow.
Bon appétit.
This is my favorite.
[Whitney] I still don't know
what to write.
All of you have something special.
Now take that something
and write it on your card.
So you want us to write it down,
or we can just talk about it?
Let's just talk about one at a time.
-Okay.
-I'd rather not nobody chime in.
If you're gonna talk, don't interrupt.
-Just let the one person talk.
-I love that.
I will start since it's my party.
Um oh, Lord.
I have trust issues, and that's the truth.
I don't just trust people.
Like, you don't just walk
in my heart, and I'm like, okay.
That's something that I'm aware of,
so I know I can better it.
I love how direct you are about it.
-'Cause it's the truth.
-It's interesting you say that,
'cause something I'm working on
is not caring
what people's opinions are about me.
And I just wanna get one thing
on the table out in the open.
I am many things, but I am not a swinger.
-[laughter]
-Well, we'll toast to that.
And I'm nothing if not a swinger.
That's an inside joke for Lisa and I.
-Yeah.
-Your turn, Lisa.
My big thing is I have
extremely high goals for myself.
[voice breaking] I hate crying.
But, like, I love it about myself, though.
I don't wanna change that.
I always am trying to be my best self.
And I'm not gonna stop.
Lisa loves her [bleep] self.
I wish I had that much confidence.
[laughs]
Or arrogance. One of the two.
So, Jen, what's up with you?
-Hold on.
-[laughter]
I'm listening.
[lightly edgy music]
A little bit of history.
[voice breaking] So my dad
grew up with nothing in Tonga.
He came to the United States
trying to find a better life
for his family.
I'm the oldest of six children.
And in the Tongan Polynesian culture,
the oldest child
has a lot of responsibility
[sniffles] to always be perfect.
And so it was hard growing up
in Utah, you know?
I was different.
Everybody thought I was Black. Mary.
[laughter]
I literally grew up here Black.
I could tell you about it.
You know, I was always different.
I got stood up for Homecoming.
I didn't go on dates.
And so I know what it's like
to be at the bottom
and have to climb your way to the top,
to work 50 times harder
than everybody else
-just to get the same thing.
-I feel you.
And so that's why I'm so passionate,
and when I say you're my friend,
like, you're my [bleep] friend.
I know I'm crazy AF, and I might go off,
but it's because I love my friends.
It's because when something happens,
I'm truly hurt because nobody reciprocates
the type of loyalty
that my father taught me.
And I know I have a very hard exterior,
and I will eff you up and down,
sideways, backwards.
But, like, I just want you
to know why I do that
is because I care so much, you know?
But sometimes that can come across,
and words can be just as deadly
as a weapon.
I understand that,
but I'm trying to explain.
-Yeah.
-Actions the smallest action,
-like the smallest word to you
-Right.
The smallest action to me,
that cuts me very, very deep.
I have your back.
Even if I don't agree with you,
I will have your back,
and then I'll pull you aside,
-and be like, "Yo, that was crazy."
-[laughter]
"That makes no sense,
but I got your back."
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for yelling "eff you."
And I want I wanna thank you for
for explaining where you're coming from,
-because honestly, I was, like
-I know.
Taken by surprise beyond.
[Mary] Where's my apology?
Jen calling me the
yeah, the grandfather with
you know, whatever, it's cruel.
[dramatic chords]
[Whitney] Next time on
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
The way you act is better than me?
Why do you keep coming at me?
Why are you so angry?
-You're coming at me.
-You know where the door is.
Open your eyes at me one more time.
Wanna know the truth?
What, gonna whup my butt?
-No.
-I'm not scared of you.
You see the door? Exit.
[man] I got out of rehab.
I was doing great,
then you feel that withdrawal again.
I wasn't ready.
This is the right thing for you.
It's the thing that's gonna get
my dad back.
When ski season's over,
you gonna live with me in Canton, Ohio?
-No.
-Does it matter where you live?
Yes, Seth, I have uprooted our family.
Corporate headquarters is in Canton, Ohio.
Okay, well,
my corporate headquarters is here.
It's been a hard couple of weeks.
So you don't want me here?
[dramatic musical sting]
