S02:E20: Memorial Meltdown

[TexasGal]

Quote

The Cinco De Mayo festivities intensify as the tension between the ladies boils over. Mary and Meredith cling together as the rest of the women hound Meredith for the date of her father's memorial and struggle to understand Meredith's unwavering support for Mary. Once back in Salt Lake City, the women try to make sense of all chaos left behind in Zion. Jen visits Mary’s church to see if the rumors are true, Lisa seeks advice from John and Meredith offers an olive branch to Heather and Whitney.

Well gang, its finale night. 

Consider that the producers gave us twenty episodes of this season !

They had a lot of juicy film to work with. 

Also looking forward to the reunion next week.

But dang, as we know there will be no justified comeuppance for Mary.  We won't have closure!

 

*******************************

Oops ! This was not the finale. That's next week ! Egads -  there is more !!

I think Mary’s life is justifiable comeuppance.

She is many things but content is not one of them.

“Security” standing in the doorway of Lisa’s room.  🤣

[Keywestclubkid]

She don’t know she looks inbred… and I died lol 

[bosawks]

I feel like this could be a long con just so Lisa can stand around in her bra.

[FlyingEgret]

Heather looks inbred? WTF is inside Mary's brain???

Lisa is unhinged. And meredith is typing away.

Omg this is insanity

[Keywestclubkid]

Mary’s judging look as Whitney walked by… lol she is killing me this episode 

[JenE4]

The Tres leches cake going to waste on the counter. That’s the biggest tragedy.

[bosawks]

That was an apology?

Everytime Lisa screams she claps her hand. That is one annoying habit. 

[Ms.Lulu]

I am down to two RH franchises and this is one.  But tonight is excruciating.  Whitney stirs the pot.  Lisa yells and deflects.  Mary is cruel.  Meredith plays the righteous victim and Jen eats popcorn.  And Jennie is inconsequential.

[TexasGal]

Here’s my big mystery - where did all these big gulp sized sodas magically appear from?  Second biggest - why do they all talk about having “resolve” with other people?

I don’t think anyone actually said to Meredith it was about the dates of her dad’s memorial, not whether there was one or if he died, did they?
 

[bosawks]

Our ladies are looking ROUGH this morning.

[Keywestclubkid]

Mary being smart and riding in a car alone … 

[Vanderboom]

I know Whitney can't help the way her voice sounds, but her attempts at interrogating Meredith and Mary lose their power because she just sounds like a whining child: Why weren't you in the vaaaaaan? Mary, Meredith neeeeeeeeds you! 🙄

Everyone is obsessive about why Meredith is friends with Mary or what day Mer’s father’s memorial was…but no one seems remotely concerned about the crimes that Jen committed.  It’s a bigger scandal if you weren’t there to see Jen get arrested than, you know—Jen actually getting arrested! 

[janiema]

It’s Meredith’s affect and delivery that’s so annoying. She always tilts her head to one side or the other and jerks her head up and down when she speaks. The vocal fry doesn’t help.

Yea at this point it’s like just let them be weird friends … why does it really matter? 

[nexxie]

Mary The Narcissistic Con Woman can’t relate at all to people who see behind the mask.

[JenE4]

Oh, no. The latest spin on a gender reveal party is now we’re doing college reveal parties?!?

“You know what I really want to learn how to make? Eggs.”

”Yeah.”

[bosawks]

Is that the full congregation? 
 

i pictured it more robust.

[Keywestclubkid]

Crazy for Christ 

[nexxie]

That “church service” was some sick shit. 

[JenE4]

There are not very many people in this church. How are these 12 people funding Mary’s lifestyle? Okay, this does seem like a cult with this woman going on about how perfect Mary is in every way—while another guy fans her. And this girl screeching that she’s staying with her…okay, I guess a lot of people HAVE left her (not even “the church” but “her”???) then.

[Axie]

Good God Almighty!  I don’t think I can take it.  Praise Jesus!

It has definitely dwindled since the last service was filmed - maybe time away during the pandemic enlightened some of the congregation...

This episode made the franchise turn for me in a similar way when Monique ruined Potomac. In their quest to have juicy storylines, they go super dark and overproduce the storyline. Full disclosure it triggers me more and makes me feel more for Meredith because when my father died I didn't even know what day it was. For Whitney's sake, I really hope it was production pushing her to ask Meredith about the memorial, and not her own idea. It's so cringe. I find it laughable how hard they are trying to push this narrative that Meredith called the feds on Jen, after YEARS of prior investigation. I was such a Heather fan but she lost me in this episode, saying Meredith's analogy was a low blow, but see no fault in Meredith being understandably enraged about being questioned about her father's memorial. I'm with her, I wouldn't dignify that with a response.

And no one questions why she lied about the details of the phone call that made her leave the van?

[Keywestclubkid]

Lisa planted the idea about the date being off… this was all on Lisa for saying she was at her fathers memorial when they were in the van to vail …

You know, if anyone ever questioned me about the validity of my father’s funeral, I’d probably go ballistic.

[Talented Tenth]

Whitney is trash for what she said to Meredith about knowing that her father is resting while Whitney's father is still alive.

According to Mary, several businesses were inherited and her lifestyle isn't coming from the church.

When you are so bad I side with mf Jen Shah of all ppl something is wrong lol.

I hate Meredith. These women all suck but Meredith is a snake & I do think that she’s a liar. All of a sudden she’s light and has clarity and no problem clarifying the date after that shit show at Zion. She certainly sounded like she wasn’t alone and she was talking low when Lisa called her. I don’t doubt the memorial but I don’t think that Meredith is as innocent as she claims. She’s full of shit, for sure.

The main problem with how these women fight is that no one can accurately state what they're claiming they or the others said!  Every time they show a flashback they're getting it wrong!

I find it hard to believe that Lisa was setting all of that up on the trip to Vail 15 minutes after Jen was arrested.  If these were normal women they would realize that Lisa knew she was at the memorial that weekend and thought she interrupted it and told her to get back to her family, even though she actually had missed the actual time of the memorial.  But instead we get to hear another hour of inaccurate fighting about it next week!

Couldn't you just hear her enthusiasm for that Reiki treatment she was "so excited" about?  😏. I hate her.  I hate her ugly stupid clothes and her creepy husband and weirdo son.  And her trainer; he's creepy too.  I'm this close to hating her dog for not biting her 😄

Lisa did look fabulous in her bra and jeans - I'm supposed to start my winter diet tomorrow so  -- goals!!  Contrast to Jen with her giant boobs and oddly shaped fanny in that red unitard! 😂. When Lisa yelled, "I don't care because I'm richer than all of you!" I thought she should have been boasting about having a better bod than everyone instead!😁

 

[bosawks]

Maybe I’m on an island of one but if your dad dies you can pretty much do or say whatever you want to get through it as long as it’s not hateful.

I think she’s a bucket of suck but I don’t see what the big deal is even if Meredith did lie about the date.

That being said what the hell was up with those machines!

Meredith is going to inflict pain while questioning Heather and Whitney and when Whitney asks to turn it down it looks like Meredith just pretends to!?!?

What is she, a low rent Bond villain now?

That was some fucked up shit.

Yet, from what we’ve heard, the only (or at least primary) customers of these companies are the church members who are coerced to use the services—and use them in a way that benefits the church. Like Cameron who claimed that Mary made him refinance his house through her mortgage company for $300,000  to give money to the church and ended up losing his house.

I heard Meredith laughing and it reminded me of someone. FranDresher! Then the more I heard her the more she sounded like her. 
It made the show so funny for me.

But she literally did watch the playback.. that’s what got everyone confused and made everyone question her… cause Heather and Whitney both were like she said she had it Monday … and I do get it .. cops just swarmed the place they are all confused and don’t know what’s going on and SUDDENLY Lisa tells them something that contradicts what they have been told before. Of course they are gonna think somethings up. It was on Lisa to correct this not the other girls cause she is the one that gave them the misleading (wrong) information

I think where it all went wrong was Lisa said, Oh, I’m so sorry to be bothering you today. Get back to your family! Meredith didn’t correct her and say, I’m not with my family any more. I’m in Vail. Meredith just went along with the idea of “going back to her family” in what I can only presume was a rush to get off the phone and into the bubble bath. 😉

It should put the majority of the blame for all this bullshit on Lisa .. with Meredith feeding into the bullshit by not just saying No it was Monday but dancing around the question..

Someone at BRAVO or one of the podcasts should make a supercut video of every time "have/has/had your back" is spoken.

I assume some congregants stayed home due to the pandemic. Isn’t Mary still doing her church podcast?

I don’t know if we saw enough to be able to classify Mary’s church as a cult. I’ve attended many church services, including TD Jakes’ church, in which there was a lot of deference to the pastor. Also, fanning someone is a “thing” in many Black churches. It’s a sign that a person is “on fire.”  My only issue was that these church members clearly get a different Mary than the one we see. I find Mary to be one of the meanest Housewives of any franchise. She’s just an unkind person.
