S11.E04: Frozen Assets

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

Kelly's beach bash moves indoors as Vicki and Shannon have an icy showdown about their friendship. Also, Meghan moves closer to starting a family; Briana lands in the hospital with a medical emergency; and Shannon makes a difficult decision about Vicki.

I just noticed that Tamra doesn't really have a belly button - googled and found my answer.

If there's much more of this Megan shit, will someone please come over here and kill me?

[mbaywife123]

Brianna is a nurse and calls her mom to come get her to go to the hospital when she knows that you should call 911 ASAP for an ambulance since they have O2 on board as well as life saving meds is just unbelievable!

[mbaywife123]

Shannon is right on point about strings attached Vicki.

I was coming in to post the exact same thing!

I don't care about your shots and your issues with shots.  Like your husband, I don't care about.  Every. Single. Detail.  You freely admitted he's going along with this so "he wouldn't lose you" and you want him to be excited?  Bleck.

You are boring Megan King Edmond.          Bor. Ing.  And conceited.

Vicki says she "didn't lie"? Um, the binder, the chemo appointments, calling Terry for an IV.  That's the tip of the iceberg.  Who does she think she is kidding?

And no, Kelly, it isn't any of your business.  Stay out of it.  We all see through you, aiming for airtime. 

Another Housewife leaves a  party crying without tears.  Save it Vicks.  

Why not call 911 at home when Brianna had her emergency? I'd be worried Vicki would be taking work calls instead of focusing on getting me to the ER stat.

Vicki blames the government for Ryan being in OK? He's under contract, enlisted in the Marines.  She really is clueless.   Why is Brianna in CA, away from her husband? That's on her and Vicki.  Ugh, and to think Vicki was once my favorite; she's a disaster.

Eta wine caused me to repeat myself

[100PercentPain]

Megan annoys me, but I for real laughed at her deadpan "Well, we were never friends, Vicki." in response to Vicki's ridiculous, tearful, "I just want to be friends again... Sniff...sniff..." Bitch, please. 

 

Honestly, I don't blame Shannon one bit for not wanting to be friends with Vicki at this point. She would make her own life a lot easier if she went the Heather Dubrow route, though - roll your eyes, accept the non-apology with the realization that Vicki will never offer a real one and keep her at a cordial arm's length. 

 

Still can't stand Kelly. Girlfriend is trying way too hard. 

[Thumper]

Please, no more Vicki TH's with the breasts exposed.  Please.

[Cherrio]

Oh, Vicki is so nice, so caring...etc. ?     Uh, Kelly is so stupid.  Did I mention that Kelly is stupid?

Vicki, go to Newport Imaging and have a CT scan of your brain.  Remorseless pig who lies is etched deeply in it.

[tinaw]

Vicki is drinking her own koolaid. She is believing all her own stories. I think she really believes she didnt lie to anyone. Briana is right. She does have a coocoo mother

Kelly likes to cause trouble doesnt she? Hubby too it seems. I dont blame shannon at all for being mad at vicki. Kelly should just stay out of it

Next weel looks insane

[bosawks]

Whenever I see Kelly's mom it reminds me to delete old "Intervention" episodes from my DVR.

[JAYJAY1979]

Kelly's addition makes perfect sense....to take on Tamra's former role of trouble maker..to make shannon the under dog, and to showcase how crazy people are. 

Shannon should just forgive vicki and then just be cordial to her.  She'll be the better person.

[SCS]

Sara has fab eyelashes. That's pretty much my takeaway for this week.

Next week looks to be much more fun. Is the 70s party when Heather busts ass? I will enjoy that immeasurably. And Shan tosses guests out of her party. It must be a production requirement that at least 1 party per season per franchise serve a guest with an eviction notice.

[breezy424]

I just don't like Kelly, or her family, and I have a feeling that's not going to change.

I'm enjoying Shannon again like I did the first season but Shannon:  You're confused about what was the sixties and what was the seventies.  Shannon also has every right to not just give Vicks a pass for what she did to everyone last season. 

I have no idea why an ambulance wasn't immediately called when Brianna couldn't breathe.  And of course Vicks picks up her daughter at the hospital, drops her off back at the house, and is going back to 'work'.  Geez, way to go 'loving mother'.

I don't have a problem with them showing Meg and the IVF process.  At least that truly is reality for many couples.

I don't think I've seen anyone as self absorbed as Vicki.

[mbaywife123]

Vicki was right for once.

She should have never gone to the party (or come back this season at all!)

[FanOfTheFans]

Agree that it is crazy that a nurse does not call 911 when she thinks she has a PE.  Something funky is going on with Briana's story and her reason for moving back to the OC.  I think there is some shenanigans going on to garner sympathy for Vicki. I mean, how strange was it that Ryan's ex was on the scene too.  It smells funny, all of it. I'm not saying Briana was not sick, but I question whether we are getting the truth of the situation. 

I don't wish to see Meghan giving herself a shot again. I get it and yes I know, you are uber proud of yourself.  They might as well use a dummy for Jim.  Meghan might actually get more emotion out of a dummy.

[WireWrap]

I think it is possible that Vicki once again exaggerated how bad Brianna was when she called and that Brianna got much worse after Vicki picked her up. IMO, we don't have enough info, Brianna's side, to know the whole story yet.

[LilaFowler]

I want Shannon to forgive Vicki and start being cordial to her just to witness Meghan King Edmonds's head spin around in fury.  I still hate that b.

Kelly's house is really cool. It's the only RH home that I'd actually want to live in.

Any shortness of breath is utmost important to get quick help. All nurses know this. It is the ABC of emergency care as in airway, breathing, and circulation, in that order. 

I agree WireWrap that we don't have all the facts but it smells off to me.  Just a gut instinct. But I certainly wouldn't put it past Vicki to exaggerate for sympathy.  

[JennyMominFL]

This was not one of the better episodes. It is possible Briana got much worse as time went on, only realizing later that it was more serious.. But really, if I wanted to watch a bunch of lying, windbag, narcissists, I would have just watched the Republican National Convention.

Lots of people who should know better don't call for an ambulance just because it's expensive.

Kelly needs to butt out. Vicki is a liar. Do I think that Shannon is a little overly invested in how wronged she was? Yes. But Brooks and Vicki lied about his cancer.

Exactly!

Did anyone else notice that when the ambulance arrived that they gave Brianna a puke bucket and no O2 tank was present?

[Juneaucat]

When Vicki said in a TH that she feels like she's failing as a mother, I yelled at the tv "because you are!" Briana was clearly spent physically and emotionally and needed sleep, not taking care of two toddlers. Vicki, you don't always have to go to work. I'm a workaholic but when my kids are sick, work can wait.

We also heard Vicki repeat to someone that Brianna's vitals were normal, which would include her O2sat/level, before the ambulance left. Something is off and I suspect it is on Vicki's end of the story,

Yes I noticed that. Plus Briana has worked as an ED nurse and most likely has seen deaths from pulmonary embolisms.  You don't mess around with that. Didn't Vicki say that Briana said she thought she had a blood clot in her lungs.

[Bronzedog]

I completely understand Shannon.  I'm someone who will put up with a lot but when I've had enough, I'm totally done.  Nothing will even make me turn around.  Shannon was a good friend to Vicki and Brooks, and, not only was she lied to, she got completely shit on.  

[filmfan2480]

I am completely on Shannon's side with her stance against Vicki.

On all these Housewife shows, it boggles my mind how these women can say just HORRIBLE things to each other and then just decide to patch things up with the obligatory sit-down chat and subsequent "let's just move forward" garbage.

In REAL life (or my reality, at least), once a "friend" (or even anyone/friend/foe/acquaintance) called me "disgusting and vile" ... we would never be friends again. Period.

No friend of mine would ever get away with that. Good for you Shannon. I don't even hate Vicki. But what she did to these women (especially Shannon) last season was pretty low. That shouldn't just blow over. Am I crazy for feeling this way??

Edited July 19, 2016 by filmfan2480

[fountain]

From what I recall Shannon was more supportive of Vickie and Brooks and seemed to not want to believe there were lies.  So I can see how when she finds out she was duped she would be really hurt and angry.  The others had all figured out Vickie's game earlier on but Shannon was still supporting/ defending Vickie for quite a while. I would expect her to be the most hurt as she was the most played and manipulated.

I had to lol at Vickie being characterized as nice.    I cannot even believe the new gal could pull off that line with a straight face.

Yet she had a very elevated temp.  It seems strange that the hospital would not have kept her for suspicion of sepsis or becoming septic once they realized it wasn't respiratory in nature as related to a clot. Though there are others worries when your lungs are being compressed from inflamed lymph nodes and one can't properly breathe. Pneumonia certainly comes to mind. The antibiotics don't seem to be working. Surely they would do blood cultures to isolate the infection and keep her in the meantime till they had results to slam her with additional drugs.  The whole story is just off. 

I don't doubt your opinion at all but I am just so leary of this medical stuff with what we've seen from Bravo lately. They are making me paranoid.

Vicki also pissed me off with the comment about the government keeping Ryan away from Brianna.  As a career civil servant, that shit always annoys me.  The govt isn't the enemy and the govt. didn't take Brianna out of OK, you did asshat.

This. I want Vicki off my television screen, though I am aware that will probably not happen. Vicki believes she did nothing wrong and keeps offering lame apologies. It would seem she does not know what she is actually apologizing for. It is amazing that she thinks that way, but it really is not, because it is Vicki after all. In the first episode she said she was devastated when Brooks left. It sounded to me like she would still be with him if he did not leave on his own. That says a whole lot about Vicki to me.

I have to admit I prefer Shannon when she is not Vicki's friend. I think that is part of the reason I did not really warm up to Shannon in the past. I am fine with her saying she does not want a friendship with Vicki, but I am also fine with Heather just being cordial to Vicki as well. I did like that she pointed out that there are always strings when it comes to Vicki. 

I do not mind Meghan, so I do not mind her IVF storyline. I laughed when she told Vicki that they were never friends.

I also liked Heather hanging out with her kids, even though it was a short scene.

So did Tamra forgive Vicki and go back to being friends with her? Oh Tamra, I was actually liking you this season but if you are going the Vicki way I am probably back to not liking you soon. Though it was probably inevitable that I would go back to not liking you, so I guess nothing is really lost.

Kelly saying that she does not like seeing Vicki ganged up on, because she has been that girl in the past. Sigh, I normally do not like when one person on any of the Real Housewives shows is ganged up upon by all, but in this case I feel like Vicki deserves it, especially since she believes she did nothing wrong. She just wants some casseroles!

I do think Kelly can make her own opinions about Vicki, but she cannot discount the other ladies feelings about Vicki and why they have those feelings. I cannot imagine that she would respond well if one of her friends lied about their significant other having cancer. If she wants to be Vicki's friend so be it, but the other women have the right not to be. Oh if Vicki was on good terms with the rest of the ladies she would not be wasting time on Kelly. She would probably be a bitch to her, because Vicki never seems to like anyone new.

The hospital did keep her in a few days. I believe Brianna was in the hospital 2 or 3 days before she was released, she mentioned they were running tests when we heard her/Vicki talking on the phone the next day but editing made it look like she came home the next day.

I agree that something is off here. Between Vicki's need to lie about or exaggerate things to make herself look better/sympathetic and the editing monkeys at Bravo we never get the whole story, so I understand your paranoia. LOL

Vicki possibly lying or exaggerating about a loved one's health??  How could that be?  

She is really jonesing for those casseroles, isn't she?   I wish someone would send her one or two so we can get past all this medical drama!  I'm bored and tired of housewives (or loved ones of a housewife) of all franchises having some kind of medical emergency - real or imagined (We know that Brianna does have medical issues, but the drama tonight seemed very fishy to me and unfortunately, I didn't feel one iota of sympathy for Brianna or Vicki).

And, how convenient that Internet pick-up girl, Ryan's ex-girlfriend, Sarah, just happened to be at that exact gas station in Orange County at the same time the ambulance came?  And, then, she was available to go baby-sit for Brianna's kids (who were sleeping)?  Doesn't she have like four kids of her own?  Where were they?  

Also, just so happens that Sarah was talking to Tamra at that exact same time as she was at the gas station and Vicki pulls in with Brianna and the ambulance shows up?  And, then, Tamra was able to rush over to Vicki's house to have a "heart to heart" talk with Sarah about Ryan, but then, Tamra leaves Sarah there to wait for the girl from Vicki's office to come and watch Brianna's kids?  Why didn't Tamra stay at Vicki's and let Sarah go home to her own children?  

This whole thing just seems way too convoluted for a divine miracle from above.

Omg what a surprise, Icky makes Brianna's latest crisis all about her, whing "I am tired of her being sick" "I can't make her healthy". What an egomaniac. 

[RHJunkie]

How can Vicki be so incredulous at these women for thinking that she knew about Brooks lie when she was caught and also admitted to lying on his behalf to get the other women off his back??? She lied about doctor appointments, the medical book and she even made up a lie that implicated Terry coming over to give Brooks emergency treatment. How can people NOT think you were aware Vicki? Forever a victim Vicki. She's the victim that her friends won't believe that she wasn't lying to them...even thought she was lying to them. Kelly needs to shut the hell up - because it's not everyone's job to move on because Vicki is ready to move on. Vicki is the one that caused the offense and friction among the group. She shouldn't consider herself bullied when in reality she's simply being forced to face the consequences of her actions. Yes, sometimes you're so stupid that you lose relationships over your stupidity. It's not everyone else's job to simply cater to your happiness Vicki. 

I love the layout of Kelly's home but the decor is too modern and sterile looking for my liking. Personally would absolutely love the place if there were more splashes of colour and a mix of modern contemporary and classic pieces that bring that element of comfort. It lacked a homely vibe to me but her stove and chandeliers were pretty awesome! I don't remember the scene exactly from last week but based on the flashback, Kelly twisted the situation to make it seem like Shannon approached her to talk shit about Vicki but it was Kelly that was addressing the issue with Shannon. Shannon only responded in kind to explain her position. 

I skipped all of the Meghan/Jim scenes, lol. Did I miss anything? I assumed I wouldn't miss anything too interesting which is why i skipped it in the first place. 

Vicki and Brianna didn't take the kids to the hospital with them so what was the point in calling Vicki? Why waste time waiting for Vicki to get home? You call 911. And why does Vicki make everything about her? Why not show sympathy for your daughter's situation rather than lament about how her situation makes YOU feel. 

Tamra wants Sarah to leave her out of her issues with her son but you aren't helping your case when you're trying to communicate and send messages between the two parties. 

Random - but Vicki's outfit in both flashbacks (the beach and the bar) look almost identical from what was shown on screen, lol.

Once again I will be happy to send Vicki a liar face casserole but I am still unable to find a recipe for such.

Is it made of crow, chicken buttholes, woo hoo's, dirty martinis, family vans and covered with Le Tip sauce?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Seriously, does Meghan see the constipated/nauseated looks on asshole Jimmy's mug whenever he has to be around her?  I mean, sheesh, if there was a thought balloon over his head (in every one of their scenes together) -- and it would reflect EXACTLY what he's really thinkin' -- it would say, "God, how long till I can finally get away from this cloying/annoying woman that I can't stand?" 

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Meghan at this point -- other than being completely & totally not interested in anything about her (including & especially blubber lips Jimmy).  I mean, every time Meghan speaks to asshole Jimmy, he looks so distracted & spaced out, like he's not listening to a word she says.  And when he does deign to listen to her, he seems puzzled by the little he barely makes the effort to hear from her. .And the (very, very) few times he tries to embrace her or put his arm around her or kiss her, he grimaces.  Yeesh.

But regardless of what I think of Meghan, asshole Jimmy just looks like he totally hates her guts.  And she went to all that trouble to create a baby with him?  Oy.  Do I need to be psychic to see another reality marriage failure a-comin' with those 2?

Look, I love ya now, Shannon.  Honestly, I really do.  And I hate Vicks' guts.  But that invite was really pretty screwy -- "OK, we're not friends & we're never gonna be friends, but hey, come to this party I'm throwing -- if you must."  Um, what the what?  

Or do we need to break the 4th wall ourselves to translate Shannon's nutsy invite to Vicks?  Shall I try?  "I still hate your guts, Vicks, for playing me like a fiddle last season, in such a disgusting & vile manner, by covering for your con artist boyfriend, while you both lied about him having cancer & made me look ridiculous & foolish.  And I'm only inviting you to my party before the cams because I'm being ordered to do so for a scripted storyline Satan Andy & his minions have created."  Could that be what Shannon is really sayin' with her puzzling invite to Vicks?

So Tams is really gonna get involved with that mess of a situation with Ry-ass & his baby mama?  Oh my goodness, that looks like about 17 levels of mess I don't want to know anything about because if it means looking at Ry-ass, who is so repulsive-looking now, he makes me wince & shudder every time he shows up, I'll pass.  

Tams' sudden religious-speak (her injection of either God and/or Jesus) in practically every one of her TH's, sounds so disingenuous, it seems (to me) like it would be pretty offensive to people who are truly religious.  It's like she's mocking people who are religious.  Idk, maybe she's not.  But given her past behavior, I wouldn't put anything lowball past her.  I'm suspicious Tams' religious thing is just a shtick & it's her desperate attempt to keep herself & her brood on Bravo & Satan Andy's payroll.  Er, if that's the case, Tams?  Ew, you suck, hun.

I'm nervous.  Tamra is coming off likeable.  I don't know how to handle that.  Is the apocalypse closer than I thought?  Shannon on the other hand is getting on my nerves.  I don't blame her for being sore with Vicki, but stop going into a rage about it.  Just say you accept her apology but it's too soon to have the friendship back where it was, hug and walk away.  Don't dredge up old drama that we the audience were even more sick of than the people involved in it.

 

I can tell Kelly is just dying to start some shit and she wants Vicki to be her partner in crime.  Looks like she gets her wish next week.

 

Meghan trying to have a baby is making me like her a little bit too.  Damn apocalypse is closer than I thought.  lol

Kelly said that Vicki told her this is the first time Ryan and Briana have been apart and that could be making her health worse.  Didn't they previously say that Ryan has been deployed three times and was therefore off limits to any criticism?   Did she join him on these deployments?  Hm. 

I hate to defend any of these people, especially Vicki and Briana, but maybe she called Vicki instead of an ambulance is because of the boys.

Yep.  It was the reason Briana would not tolerate any criticism of Ryan going after Lydia's mom.  I believe there was another time he was deployed as well.  Vicki had business bringing Briana to California prior to Ryan getting discharged or new orders.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, well, Kelly better start doing or saying something even remotely interesting soon or she can get the boot, as far as I'm concerned.  

You know, I nearly missed it, but was Vicks all hot & bothered & horny over Kelly's brother last ep?  Oh man, that did give me a giggle.  I could see Kelly being so desperate to make a place for herself on the show, she'd throw her brother at Vicks.  Well, the brother is nothing much to look at & doesn't seem to work  . . . hmmmm, no wonder Vicks was gettin' hot & bothered.  Is this a possible match?  C'mon now, a west coast version of Carole & Adam?  Eh, maybe not.  I can't picture Vicks riding on anyone's bicycle handle bars.  And that brother is pinging (actually blasting) on my gaydar pretty wildly.

[smores]

I am puzzled as to how Vicki is managing to forget the reunion last year where she admitted to lying about the whole Terry phone call, at the very least.  Now she claims she never lied about anything.  And she's shocked that Shannon doesn't want to be her friend?  LOL! I thought it was awesome that Shannon was just like, ok, well, good talk.  Thanks.
