Receipts and Rebuttals

"Double-Decker Drama" (RHOC S18 E15)

The ladies continue their eventful trip to London, with drama and tension taking center stage. Emily and Shannon begin the day discussing how the trip was meant to be fun, but conflict seems to follow. Meanwhile, Tamra and Katie head to the spa, where Tamra shares her concerns about Shannon’s financial habits and her complicated relationship with Ryan, hinting that she needs a backup plan. Jen and Gina later reflect on the previous night's chaos, particularly Heather’s comments about Jen's expensive Dolce & Gabbana dress.

Heather tries to clear the air with Shannon, but things escalate when Shannon pulls out "receipts" to prove her financial contributions to John Jansen, much to the amusement of Emily and Heather, who mock her for presenting scraps of paper.

The group embarks on a double-decker bus tour, with Shannon playfully giving out crowns. However, tensions resurface during a discussion about Gina’s mammogram, Heather's control issues, and unresolved conflicts. A lighthearted old-time photo session divides the group further as some ladies shop while others vent their frustrations.

At dinner, Gina toasts to Shannon’s upcoming 60th birthday despite their differences. However, another confrontation breaks out when Jen confronts Heather and Tamra about gossiping behind her back, specifically over her expensive dress and financial situation. The argument turns chaotic, with Tamra and Shannon trading accusations and insults. Tamra dramatically tells Shannon to "shut up," leading to another dramatic exit.

Later, the ladies share laughs over a cheeky texting game with their husbands, but the underlying conflicts simmer just below the surface. By morning, the unresolved issues still weigh on the group, with Shannon feeling betrayed by Tamra, while Jen confronts her over doing a background check on Ryan. Tamra denies it, but Jen isn’t convinced, leading to a fiery exchange.
