Emily spends some quality time with her daughter making custom perfume and reflects on not being as present as she would like. Meanwhile, Jen is dealing with serious issues with her son Dominic, who has been struggling at school, missing 80 assignments, and showing a growing lack of respect for adults. Jen wonders whether his behavior is connected to the divorce, while Ryan suggests therapy and offers to take on more of a disciplinary role. Heather has an emotional conversation with her mother about their relationship and how Heather felt growing up as an emotional child who was often laughed at. Heather wants to make sure there are no unresolved issues between them, especially as she watches her own son Ace struggle with feeling disconnected from his grandmother. Shannon meets with a dog psychic and later joins Emily and Heather for a night out. The ladies attempt to get Shannon back into the dating scene, even encouraging her to connect with actor Steve Guttenberg. Unfortunately, he never reaches out, but Shannon isn't giving up on finding love! Meanwhile, Tamra, Jen, and Carmela meet for drinks aboard a tiki boat. The conversation turns to Carmela's Adderall use and her decision to wean herself off the medication following the Japan travel fiasco. Tamra also encourages Carmela to confront Vicki, who is hosting a party without inviting her. The big event of the episode is Vicki's Sky Tops party, where several familiar faces from past seasons make appearances. Former Housewives and old friends return, bringing a little nostalgia to the festivities. Carmela arrives despite not being invited, and things get uncomfortable almost immediately. Carmela finally confronts Vicki about the things she's been saying behind her back. Vicki insists she isn't uncomfortable and makes it clear she doesn't particularly care whether they reconcile. Carmela responds that Vicki isn't the type of friend she's looking for and that their age difference is part of why they don't connect. The drama doesn't stop there. Gina and Heather get into another disagreement over Heather's acting career and business ventures. Heather maintains that the conversation about her real estate business was simply advice from older women, while Tamra's involvement in the original discussion adds another layer to the argument. Emily continues stirring the pot by questioning Vicki about whether she's happy Carmela showed up. Jen also questions Tamra's sudden closeness with Heather, wondering whether the friendship is genuine or simply another attempt to get under Heather's skin. Away from the party drama, Gina and Travis are still working through their financial and legal situation, including the prenup, while Travis hopes for a big wedding celebration. Emily and Shane continue working on their relationship in therapy, and the couple finally sets a wedding date! By the end of the episode, Tamra is invited to Emily's wedding, Vicki is recovering from a full knee replacement, and Heather realizes she needs to stop caring so much about what everyone thinks. Another Orange County party, another round of friendship politics, and plenty of Housewives history being rewritten! ✳️Follow us on Social Media✳️  ============================================ 📸 Follow ☑️ Facebook 👉 / https://url-shortener.me/EVFH 🐦 Follow ☑️ TikTok👉 / https://www.tiktok.com/@wewinewhenever? 📸 Follow ☑️ Instagram👉 / https://www.instagram.com/wewinewhenever/ 🌐 Follow ☑️ us on Website👉 / https://www.wewinewhenever.com/ 🌐 Follow ☑️ us on Website👉 / https://www.buzzsprout.com/2236104/support 📺 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊: https://www.youtube.com/@WeWineWhenever?sub_confirmation=1 Support the show https://www.wewinewhenever.com/  Support the show https://www.wewinewhenever.com/
