THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY returns to Bravo tonight with a whole new episode called, “Making Up Is Hard to Do.” On tonight’s episode Vicki introduces Troy to Alexis, while Heather meets new Housewife Lydia. Did you watch last week’s season premiere? We did and we recapped it here for you HERE!
On last week’s show Heather’s clambake continued, where Vicki’s facial “tweaking” became the topic of catty gossip. After a confrontation and tear-filled dinner, Vicki and Tamra attempted to repair their lost friendship. Terry’s need to constantly make jokes rubbed Heather the wrong way, while Alexis and Jim’s ballroom dancing lesson rubbed them the right way. Gretchen visited Slade at the radio station to support his new endeavors, and Tamra got more than she bargained for when Eddie expressed his concerns about Vicki.
On tonight’s show Vicki invites Alexis to be the first to meet her new grandson, Troy. Meanwhile, Tamra and Gretchen shop for baby gifts, and as Tamra tries to get her relationship with Vicki back on track, Vicki threatens to derail their progress. Heather meets with Lydia McLaughlin about featuring her house in Lydia’s magazine, but Heather won’t give up the goods without a promise of the cover.
