She announces that she and Lizzie are going to be BFF’s.
Vicki and her boyfriend Brooks head out to dinner after she gets out of work. They discuss Brooks ongoing feud with her daughter, who insists he never apologized.

Brooks does make it clear that he has no desire to be around Vicki’s friends though.
Shannon and David head down to the restaurant in the hotel for dinner. Shannon gets offended because David hints at her about getting a boob job, he doesn’t think they need to be any bigger, he just wants her to “firm them up.” Shannon gets teary eyed when they begin discussing that David “doesn’t make her a priority.”
Meanwhile at the Ugly Sweater Party Heather is getting to know Lizzie. Heather thinks Lizzie is the “total package,” she’s beautiful-but she is surprised to realize that Lizzie is actually really smart too. Tamra is excited to see that “sweet Heather” is at the party and not the Heather that talks own.

Lizzie arrives at the beach and gets her model Mabelynn ready and the photographer begins shooting her in the suits that Lizzie designed.
Tamra and Eddie head out to dinner, which is a rare occurrence. Tamra feels like she never gets to see him because their life is so busy. Tamra is a little taken aback when she realizes that Eddie took off his wedding ring. He has some sort of excuse about putting it in the box and forgetting to put it back on. Tamra brings up the topic of having a baby with him, and he shuts her down and informs her he is perfectly okay with not having to raise any children. Tamra thinks he is just “afraid to be a father.” He finally caves and says they can have a baby, but he isn’t raising the baby, because he “doesn’t have time for that.” Tamra breaks down and confesses she just wants a baby that Simon can’t take away from her.
