The Real Housewives of Orange County the ladies reach new milestones – and ignite new feuds.
On Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo show, Jenn Pedranti prepared to meet her boyfriend Ryan with his mother for the first time. But the yoga instructor admitted that she was always reticent about taking that step within their relationship, given that the couple got together because of an affair.
“Where I’m from, divorce is like a no-no,” she told the cameras, wagging her finger. “It’s taboo.”

“My mom and Ryan didn’t meet because my mom wasn’t ready to meet Ryan,” Jenn continued. “My family said they started seeing Jenn before I got married and then it was like, ‘Well, wait a minute, who is this man who brought her back?'”
As the couple began to discuss their future together, the new housewife admitted that she needed the meeting to go smoothly.
Elsewhere in the episode, the ladies attended Heather Dubrow’s “Fireside” promotional party and noticed the absence of Shannon Storms Beador. Jenn, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter and Tamra Judge began discussing the 59-year-old’s behavior when Emily suddenly put her foot in her mouth before she could share the information she got from Heather.

“Heather told me that Shannon talked to— about me on Bravocon,” the former lawyer revealed in the confessional. “And then when I said, ‘What did she say?’ She said ‘Oh no. I can’t tell you because it’s in the vault!’”
She continued, adding: “I’m so irritated with her. I don’t even know where our friendship stands.”

As the event progressed, so did Emily’s level of intoxication. The reality star began arguing with Heather as the frustrations she felt with the former actress slowly bubbled to the surface.
Emily began joking about the number of “HD” symbols and branding scattered throughout the event, and pointed out that the group was served “sand in the salad.” The comments visibly started to get on Heather’s nerves, who signaled to the waiters to withhold Emily’s alcohol supply.
“Emily’s treading on thin fucking ice, and at this point I’m like, ‘Shut up, because I don’t know if I’m going to be able to save you and Heather is going to fucking kill you!’ – joked Gina in a conversation with the cameras.

Speaking to the cameras herself, Heather added: “For Emily to sit here and act like an ass is so rude and so rude and so inappropriate, but I’m not going to let it take that away from me.”
At the table, Gina nudged Emily and told her “stop it, you’re promoting—” and asked, “is something bothering you?”
Emily admitted that she was frustrated and angry with Heather for pulling her aside to talk about Shannon’s bad mouthing of her, but she wouldn’t tell her what she said. When the two went to the bathroom to talk things out in private, Heather told Tamra and Jenn that she felt Emily was “on my case.”
“I don’t like that and you’re at my event. Eat your fucking food and shut up,” she remarked before telling the cameras, “I don’t think Emily’s behavior is funny at all. You know, you’re grown up — please. If you’re that depressed, leave the table.”

After the awkwardness at Heather’s event, Jenn and Ryan finally sat down to have their long-awaited meeting with her mother. Ryan tried to address the elephant in the room and opened up about his past and his reputation for cheating on his partners.
“Five children and her, those are my worries [and how] you two will take it on,” her mother admitted after he asked her if she had any questions. “And the very fact that, you know, you didn’t have anything for those five years.

“I mean, Will is a great man, he’s a great father. Will was a great husband,” she added of Jenna’s ex-husband to her chagrin. “He was a good husband from the beginning.”
After an awkward reference to Jenna’s ex, her mother asked him if he was thinking about marriage, and Ryan revealed that in his “perfect world” the two would be engaged and ready for “Jenn and Ryan plus seven.”

The conversation began to flow smoothly and Jenn said she was more than relieved that their first exchange had gone well.
“I feel like I had this backpack made of bricks,” she told the cameras. “And as time goes on with mom and Ryan, it’s like brick by brick being unloaded and I feel like I can breathe. I’m really excited about how this went.”
Toward the end of the episode, the cast headed to Mexico for a much-needed getaway. While some may have left with the intention of relaxing, the drama heated up when Tamra asked Heather about selling her Orange County home.
Heather admitted that she decided not to share the information because she felt the group would not celebrate her news.

“To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to talk about it,” she explained. “I feel like in this group lately, I feel like if I say I’m excited about this, I’m bragging right now and I didn’t feel like I could honestly share that.”
When Shannon confronted her about keeping her cards close after receiving grief from Heather for wanting to be private about her relationship, she claimed she wanted to keep the news out of the press because of rumors about her marriage.
Emily then brought up the group’s previous claims that Heather had set up the paparazzi photos at Disneyland which further derailed her.
“I don’t like that connotation directed at me, and by the way, you’ve been so unkind to me for weeks,” she said. “You weren’t good to me.”
As the two began to go back and forth, the other ladies tried to stifle their laughter with napkins.

Things quickly got serious when Emily accused Heather of claiming that Shannon badmouthed the rest of the group while getting ready for Bravocon. But Heather dismissed the allegations, saying: “I’m tired of being the scapegoat for everyone. I’m sorry, I don’t accept it.”
“I think you’re a s— friend and you were— horrible to me,” she added. “I was an incredibly good friend to you and I loved you and I cared about you. And all you’re doing is looking for a loophole. I’m held to a different standard.”
