Host Meredith recaps The Real Housewives of Orange County season 7, episode 6 (“The Party’s Over”) while referencing ongoing Bravo discourse and sharing her ADHD/anxiety experience and why reality TV can feel therapeutic. The episode centers on Heather’s Bunco party, where Slade’s stand-up insults spark a screaming confrontation between Vicki and Gretchen about hypocrisy, Brooks’ child support history, and whether Gretchen can speak on motherhood; Tamara removes Vicki as tensions peak, then later acknowledges both sides while calling Slade a “deadbeat dad.” A second conflict erupts when Alexis overhears talk about her upcoming sinus surgery/nose work and feels mocked and unsupported by Gretchen, prompting more tears and accusations. The recap ends with Tamara checking on Vicki, Brianna preparing for thyroid surgery with cancer concerns, and Brianna criticizing Vicki’s self-centered reactions.
