She should have raised her voice and embarrassed the hell out of that girl. But she sits and pouts. Having raised a teenager it’s all so familiar to me. It’s a really hard time for most parents and I can empathize with Lynne, but damn. Grow a pair.

Alexis goes into full peacemaker mode and plots a cooking party to try to get Tamra and Gretchen back together. Jim approves and tells her how to do it -- in a joking way say “are you guys good now.” She says he’s the most wonderful person to get advice from cause you know, it's Jim, her man. Of course Vicki won’t come because she works. She’s the only one who really works and that party is at 1:30 in the afternoon. 'Nuff said. She doesn’t have time for the bullshit.

The Barneys clean out their garage in preparation for their short sale. Bad Boy Ryan comes over and shows them his new business cards. He’s growing up. The family reunion makes Tamra say that her family seems to be going ok. Oh no.

Vicki and Don have their first of many date nights. Don gives Vicki another ring. Come on now. We know you guys have it like that (cause Vicki really works), and you’re renewing your love and all, but passing this much ice back and forth is getting a bit ridiculous. You must be getting the reality tv star discount.

We find out that Gretchen, who wasn't left millions of dollars as we all thought, who claims to being left with nothing -- is going to start a make-up line. Since her devotion to Jeff derailed her real estate career, she has to make money somehow. Thank God she realizes it would be real stupid to mix Slade with her business. Just get him out of your life now. The line is called Gretchen Christine Beauté.

Vicki doesn’t understand exercising 4 hours a day or getting up at noon. She works really hard, did you know that? Oh, you already did.

Anyway, to make sure the young people in her house keep the standard of living to which they are accustomed, she gives them a financial seminar. Smart, but another boring waste of time for us. Can’t believe I'm longing for Alexis and the shit starting that comes with her.

Lynne visits her gorgeous mom for advice. Mom's surprised to see her, even though the cameramen should have given her a clue. The talk is what you’d expect -- things will work out. Waste of time. Another is watching Jim and Alexis’ son get a haircut, but I love his adorable little face.

The cooking party arrives. Yum. Tamra looks a bit stricken when she realizes that Gretchen will be there but they kiss each other anyway. Lynne completes the group.

They put on chefs' hats and start puttering around with the chef, cracking jokes, worrying about Lynne having a knife. Since they’re having so much fun Alexis doesn’t know why Tamra and Gretchen can’t be real friends. None of the ladies notice, until too late, that Lynne is getting really drunk.

They sit at the table to eat and Alexis spouts the exact line Jim told her too: “So, girls, are we good.” They both kinda say no. Gretchen makes the mistake of asking Lynne how her girls are. Then they get into how Lynne feelings were hurt when Gretchen just wanted to give Alexa an ear. The talk gets harsher and Lynne grabs her head. Tamra smiles on the sidelines thinking, “Better than me, bitch.” Then Lynne goes off in a drunken tangent on how that talk may have been the demise of her and Gretchen’s friendship. She goes into how Gretchen’s not a good role model and won'tt know what the fuck she’s talking about until she has kids. Things get tense as Lynne again throws out Gretchen’s Internet indiscretions. And Alexis thought if there was any disagreement it would be between Tamra and Gretchen, ha. Doesn’t take much for any of these ladies to go the fuck off.

Lynne starts drunken crying about how hard it is to watch your sweet babies grow up to be back-talking bitches.

Tamra, who’s had her own teenage and young adult battles, says that Lynne needs to get with the discipline now or it’s just going to get worse. Gretchen says she lives in a fantasy world.
