In episode 5, “as the women settle back into life in Salt Lake City after their whirlwind trip to Milwaukee, group dynamics are anything but calm. Whitney is on the hunt to find out who planted the rumors about her business and Mary is fed up with Heather.”

Instead, the episode opens with a real and heavy conversation between Lisa and Bronwyn. I don’t want to hear more about their loyalty beef any longer, and it was starting to make me wonder if their friendship was deep at all.

Season 18 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” continues on Bravo this Thursday, Oct. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT with a new episode.
