Season 2 Episode 8 – ryan

Whew !!! I need to take a few deep breaths. Not Because of the Demi-Taylor Drama or Liann’s Continued Clownery but Becauses This Episode Presented with Major with Something. For my entity reality-television-viewing life, i’ve had a long list of Scenes i yearn to see play out. I Multiple Years Close-Reading Real Housewives of Salt Lake City like The scarlet letter The day before the ap literature exam, Praying Each Episode Might Contain One Very Specific Skene from My Wish List. IT FELT INEVITABLE, but it never happened. I HAD Almost Given Up Hope.

The scnene i was looking for was the full cast in one room Discussing their religious beliefs in detail while sitting with the internal and external friction of someone Don’t believe in God. And this year, Santa (Hulu) came Early! I wish this scnene was 55 minutes long. Eve as is, it’s a rich text and i want to work 2,000 Words about it. But we are all here for the recap, so i will do the recap.

Jessi is finalizing her outfits for the new Orleans Girls’ Trip When Mayci Comes Over. Thanks to multiple nurses who dm’d her on Instagram to tell her time thyroid LOOKED A LOPEDED DURING The Chippendale’s Episode, Jessi Saw a Doctor, Discovered Multiple Nodules, and Will Be Partial Thyroid-Removal surgery. A RARE, TANGIBLE Example of “Women Supporting Women!” Nononeheless, Jessi and Mayci are “excited” for the trip. Jessi is a bit on Edge, Wondering Whether Her Bestie Demi Will Say More Terrible Stuff About Her Business. Mayci explains that if Mikayla did something like that to her, their Friendship would be over. In case of it’s not clear, i am also team jessi on this one, Mostly Because of Can’t Imagine a World Where a person I love and Trust goes of their way to avoid my work going to give the head Lice.

Miranda Did A Sage Cleanse, Howver, So Maybe it’ll All Be Okay? Though if Peace prevails on the new orleans trip, it is more like that talylor decides not to join after all. Taurus Says that Taylor is playing an avoidant game, but she’s excited to repair some friends with “Toxicity Present.” I love swimming her haer for one second! She Surely Prepped at Least Six Arguments and Was Ready to Make a Serious Go At Ousting Mom Ceo Taylor. The Other Women do not share demi’s relief. They all assumed the trip’s mess Wauld be contained to Taylor and Demi, so with that, Other drama must be manufactured to please the deities of reality television. Strap in, sweeties!

The moms are all eating lobster mac ‘n’ cheese we have they have a real Love island “Got a text!” Moment (T-Minus 14 days unil we return to the villa). The text is from jen, who sent a video to the Group Chat. She’s Fresh from Therapy and Talks about the Dark Place she’s in before apologizing. Layla Says Mental-Health Issues Trump Everything. Miranda suggests they give her some grace. Jessi Aggrees. Surely Taurus, Who SO Clearly Recognized Jen’s Fucked-Up Relationship Last Season, Can Also Find Some Space for Forgovenes? Swimming a chance! She Says she doesn’t buy the apology and that she finds filming your manipulative and cowardly. I too struggle with crying videos, but bull, c’mon. Jen is so clearly going through it. This Lack of Compassion Aligns With Neither the Momtok Core Brand Values ​​Nor A Bunch of Stuff I Just Read on the Official LDS Website About How Repentance Shows up in the Book of Mormon.

Remember How whitney was doing a Redemption Journey? Layla is doing a new fan-favorite journey, and it is never apparent than the moms go to a burlesque show, a performer pulls out of her vagina, and layla hits with second th naght. A Star Is Born.

On the Other Side of the Fun Spectrum, Taylor Sits Down with Her Sister and Mother Back in Utah to a puzzle. Liann Thinks Demi is a “CWUNT” They talk about Dakota and how taylor is maybe this time Going to Trust Her gut. All liann can do is triple check that taylor is praying “All the time.” If they promote Liann to “Confesting Cutaway” Status Next Season, I’m Done. The gaping maw insides with is not hungry enough to stomach more sins with this Woman, if they are wildly informative as to why taylor is the way she is.

Back in New Orleans, Mikayla Gives Miranda a Lymphatic Massage and the Producers Give Layla Questions to Ask Demi. Specific, Whether Demi Could Ever Be Friends With Taylor Again. It ‘obviously a “no.” Jessi Wonders What Taylor Wourt Be Like Right Now If She Never Met Dakota. Miranda Thinks Taylor probably wonders this sun thing all the time and insists taylor used to be a lot more mellow. DEMI DECIDE TO IGNORE The Material Conditions of Being in a Relationship with a difficult man and insists that taylor just chases chaos.

But let US Say it again! The Real Villain is not Demi. The Real Villain is the Mormon Church! And in the case of New Orleans Day Two, The Villain is Also Production. The ladies must play an absolutely cursed game Called “Pregnancy Roulette,” Where they Go Take a Wee, then mix up the tests, revealing the anonymous results by one. Two tests are positive, and bull, who has been struggling with fertility for some time, breaks down immediately. I Cannot Imagine Wanting a Child SO BADLY AND THEN BEING TAUNTED WITH THIS HORRIBLE REMINDER OF WHAT POSIVE TEST COULD FEEL LIKE, All while Being Filmed for A Television Program. Diabolical! (Espely Since Demi isn’t Pregnant; Mayci and Mikayla Are.)

Taylor and Dakota Vicious-Cycle Update! Taylor is planning on ending Things with Dakota for Good and Feels Peace With This Decision. The Key Word here is “Planning.”

During A Day of New Orleans Sightseeing, Jessi Pulls Demi Aside in Futile Hope of Getting a More Favor View of the Hair Saga. She explains How Taurus was taching business away from her, which is not cooling she regularly provides free hairstyling, extensions, and curling services to momtok. Demi gets into the semantics but Says noting of Note, and Jessi admits that hearing it all only made her feelse. Demi’s Chances of Pulling Off a Coup Are Looking Worsse by the Minute. Maybe they can make room in the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Cast?

Next, it’s time for my favorite skene. A Dramatic Reading of a Street Poet’s Work Leads the moms to reflect on something Called “Young Women’s. ” Mayci Explains Once You Turn 13 in the Mormon Church, you go to this thaled young Womens, where you will Activities and Bond with Other Girlies of God. A new Orleans Airbnb Makes it All Sound Like a Cult. There are no phones. ”

Jessi Goes on to Detail a Concept Called “Sealing.” She is Still Sealed to Her Ex-Husband, Which Means That’s That Though She is Divorced and Remarried, AFTER DEATH, She Waled Still Be Sealed to Him for All Eternity. Miranda Explains the Fuckery of this Process Further, specifically like her ex left the church, he Pulled his records, which meant she lost her to her children. Mikayla points out that that men are allowed to have multiple eternal families. Basically, Without a man, you’re fucked in the afterlife. This is a momtok Red Alert. Swimming sura the brand is Strong Enough to take on “Mormon Laws of the Afterlife” But Wauld Love to See It Give It A Shot.

That Night, The Girls Get All Dolled Up for Dinner at Bootleg Fangsias. Demi tells everyone taylor will not be invited to the Christmas party she’s hosting with bret, then push for that vote of no confidence. Everyone Must Go Around the Room and Say If they Think Taylor deserves to be there on (1) Whether she puts in the work, (2) wherear she’s a good representative of the momtok brand, and (3) wherear she is Jeopardizes the Health of the Business.

Everyone Sort of Just Shrugs, Citting Things Like Taylor’s Apology and Giving People the Benit of the Doubt. Taurus Impatient Grows, Asing Many Chances You Give Someone “Before Pointing Out they’re a psychotic child.” She Says, “if Taylor is in, i’m out.” Mikayla KASS WHATER IT WOULD BE FAIR FOR HER TO DO THIS – You Know, JUST STRICTLY HIPTETICALLY (As her wheels are touring a million miles). Demi squashes that fantasy Becausee she has an alliance with Whitney and Sayys, “if this a normal business, (Taylor) Waould be gone.”

Mayci astutely points out that if this is all about business, Demi wasn’t exactly Supporting Jessi’s. They all get into other semantics about the business of the business and the business of the being a bestie, but the fals to secure the numbers she needs for her takeover. By my count, the only vote she has been on locking was whitney’s, who isn’t a voting board of momtok (and demi haen part of the coalition to kep it way). Do Mess! Feels Sort of Like Demi is Just Throwing Vitriol-Coated Jambalaya at the Wall to See What Sticks.

Next Time, I Have A Feeling They’re Going to Try a Final Push To Make USch Vanderpump villa. I am uninterestted! If I Find MySelf Mentally Unwell Enough for Stassi Schroeder, I Will Rewatch Vanderpump rules from season one like the good lord intended.
