Well, well, well by the very end of this episode we will finally be caught up to the point we started at for the first episode. This basically means that the part we have all been waiting for will begin on next week’s episode. So, let me knock out this RHOSLC recap really quick and get us that much closer to the main drama.
Mary is hosting a cooking class and she wants everyone to dress in “Italian Streetwear.” So she will be including photos of acceptable attire in the invitation. In her confessional she basically says if she doesn’t tell them how to dress there is no telling how they will show up. How very cult leader like of her. I don’t think anyone here has fashion issues. Sometimes they go a bit over the top or too avant garde, but who cares? Jennie is not invited.
Meredith has Jennie over for mani-pedis at her house. Mary and Jennie just don’t get along, so the trip should be interesting. Heather and her daughter Ashley go to dinner her niece and her husband. The niece, Caroline who was formerly a devout Mormon all her life. Recently, she realized it was all a bunch of crap. She is completely out of the church. All four of them are. Okay enough filler. Let’s get to the bus scenes. But first, we get to see Jen and Stuart breaking the law again. This time they are going snowshoeing on a trail that is strictly for skiing. But hey, rules don’t apply to these two crooks. This scene is not aging well. She tries to be the martyr about being away from her kids to steal money from old people. Stuart has already rolled over on Jen. So this is particularly satisfying.

Mary’s get up for the Italian cooking class is HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESTERICAL! Like it is so bad, I wish I had a picture. She looks like a hobo who lost her hairbrush. Plus, she corrects the lady who set the table on where the knives and forks go. I rewound twice to see the place settings, but could not get a shot of the flatware. Of these two women though, I think the lady who works there probably did it exactly right. OMG, Stuart drops the other crazy bitch, Jen off on a moped. they are both draped in the Italian flag. Really? Meredith arrives in head to toe black leather and looks amazing. Mary is pissed at Whitney so she sent her invitation to say to dress like the mafia. Whitney didn’t fall for it. So Mary is even more pissed.

Let’s Get Cooking!
Mary is so annoying with her “Italian accent.” And really, just the way she breathes, her face, all of it annoys me. She gives them all aprons in a Louis Vuitton shopping bag so some of them think it is a Louis Vuitton apron. Good grief. Meanwhile as Jennie’s she is doing her own cooking scene with her kids. Jennie’s scenes are just so fake. Her kids are great little actors though. Back in “Italy” Whitney tells Mary she could not get back to her because she was driving carpool. Mary and Jen are pissed that they were not invited to Lisa’s kid’s charity shindig

Lisa once again starts to stir the pot between Jen and Whitney. Mary annoys me even more by want to “do a cheers” IT’S CALLED A TOAST! during the catfight. I don’t even know what anyone is yelling about at this point. But it is clear that Mary is jealous of Whitney. Mary likes to call Whitney “little girl.” I love that Whitney gets under her skin though. 🙂 Mary told Whitney to leave. Whitney apologizes and begs Mary to be nice to her. Meredith sits down with Whitney who told her that she did in fact call Mary back. It was two hours later. And that Mary would not pick up HER phone and instead sent a barrage of mean texts.
Mary Cosby Is A Psychopath
My favorite part of the mean tweets was Mary lying about never having plastic surgery. She not only had FULL BODY HEAD TO TOE plastic surgery, her congregation was forced to pay for it. And she is STILL coming for Whitney on Twitter! Whitney said that she has done nothing but support Mary and defend her from all the rumors. She even donated to her cult! Whichs leads to Meredith asking about Cameron the guy who used to go to Mary’s church who was at Lisa’s charity event. ICYMI he died of unknown causes just a few months after filming. Whitney said her family is afraid of her and told her never to make Mary mad. And that Mary’s congregation thinks she is God.

These two go back to the table. Meanwhile Lisa and Jen Shah are fawning all over Mary. Birds of a feather. Mary claims she doesn’t scream at people. Then, she tells Whitney that she has never thought of her as a friend. Meredith then hugs it out with Mary too. Why to these people put up with this woman? She subhuman.
On To The Other Psychopath…
Three days later, Meredith calls Heather. She went to Aspen for a memorial for her father so she is coming from Aspen to Vail for the trip. Heather is now in charge of the van ride. Jen is packing for two days in three or four suitcases. We do get a brief sighting of her husband. No wonder they have an extra van for the luggage. Mary is flying in (to avoid Heather) so she will miss the van ride as well. Jen gets THE PHONE CALL! I don’t remember this scene where Jen tells Heather that Sharrieff has internal bleeding and has to go to the hospital. He really didn’t look very healthy when we saw him watching her pack. But, it’s still probably BS.

All the ladies are so nice as they send her off. They all consider cancelling the trip to support her. But eventually production nudges them on down the road. Twelve minutes after Jen left, Homeland Security arrives hunting her down. The cops are all saying they are checking on her to make sure she is safe. That doesn’t take Homeland Security, NYPD and a swarm of local cops.
Let’s just say that was WAY better than the stupid RHOP reunion.
Lisa is on WWHL. She says she did not get ahold of Stu. Andy seems to be asking Lisa a lot of questions that make it seem like that he thinks she knew about Jen Shah’s crimes.
I thought they all knew about her crimes because Heather and Meredith said they knew but didn’t make an issue of it. They all questioned where all her money was coming from and what did she do for work. Lisa won’t say anything bad about Jen because she needs allies for the show and Jen and Mary are her only two.
I was surprised with the big lie from Jen. Why say such a big lie about her husband and emergency surgery, knowing police were looking for her and she was going to be arrested?
Mary is not living in reality. She is so opposite of Jesus. She is mean, talks nasty to people, and she is a thief.
Jen is nothing but a LIE. This was the pivotal scene which illustrates the calculated skeeviness of this little psychopath. She and Mary are really hammering it out between the two of them. The superficial charm of Jen wooing them with grande presentations of her love. Mary is less fluid on this and gets triggered way too easily. It just spins her into a shame cycle way too easily and fast. Hence what does it serve her to control what people wear?! These narcissists are extremely predictable on one level…. they want control.
The look on Jen Shah’s face when she gets the call in the bus is priceless!!!!
I can’t believe I just now realized they delayed this until after Erika was done. DUH. They were just spacing them out.
Wow, Twitter is totally Team Cult Leader in the argument with Whitney. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Perhaps we just know more about Mary and her mental illness than the average watcher? But even if you just watch the show…. how could you not be on Whitney’s side. Mary is a CUNT ON THE SHOW!
Mary Cosby just seems certifiably insane. She’s like a religious Chucky doll—don’t turn your back.
People feel sorry for Mary because she was clearly programmed and is unable to see her own delusion. I think she is a calculated narcissist and I expect a SUSPECT podcast about her in the future. Mary is dangerously self absorbed.
Anyone marrying a grandfather to become a church leader is creepy…..creepy….or whatever the story of who she married. I could never watch this show – I try with the recaps – but I’m sooo not into it. Maybe it’s that I dislike Utah
Mary is just a nasty person with no basis in reality. Let’s all “do a cheers” to that!
I will toast to that. hahahahaha you reply is awesome.
Such a great recap! Thanks!
Mary is not well.
I am not a therapist or any sort of medical “ist”, but there is something legitimately wrong with Mary. I’m not referring to the fact that she always looks like she just smelled something stinky, thus having a “stink-face”. There is something about her social awkwardness that looks like real behaviorial problems. No pity coming from me, I can’t stand her. I hope the Feds have her as the next one on their list to take down
This is what psychopaths/Sociopaths/narcissists (Choose, mix or match your diagnosis) look like.
That conversation with Jen and Stu was so awkward. I think similar to Erica, the girls heard things about Jen’s questionable business . That scene with the police was nuts.
Originally, based on the first episode this season I was under the impression Jen getting that phone call was a “heads up” about the impending raid of law enforcement looking for her. But now it is about her husband going to the hospital? And the cops were just checking to make sure she was safe? Safe from what? I haven’t watched yet but plan to watch later today, maybe I will understand better after that.
Police will say that they are just checking to make sure they are safe so the person doesn’t go on the run.
Ahhhh, thank you! Sneaky buggers.
This was a pretty boring episode. I did enjoy watching two of the ladies get manis and pedis in their private home while sipping wine from Baccarat Messina crystal. It’s a level of luxury and style that’s missing from Potomac and why I started watching HW’s in the first place.
Mary’s obvious jealousy of Whitney is painful to see. Whitney has all the natural beauty Mary aspires to have each of the 27 times she climbs on an operating table.
Did anyone else see the TikTok commercial with Kyle and Dorit? They are adorable together – when they’re not at each other’s throats
Kyle has a few spots — I love the one with she and Mauricio cooking.
Hey, one more thing about Mary. She is the very picture of the term “hot mess.” No amount of labels can help. She MUST get a stylist before she goes to … wherever she goes.
This happened!
He is about to be acquitted.
This. Happened.
What happened? Who is being acquitted?
Trying to think who is currently being tried…..do spill the beans.
The dog owner?
Who?
Where is MelG? I am missing her comments.
Me too!
This was another overstimulating episode for me. So dense with so many things happening and dynamics shifting. This is a very interesting group of people.
So, I am not sure what is happening with the NYPD? Why are they the ones at the scene. Is that where she is head quartered. I have been in and out with these shows so I am sorry if that is annoying but I don’t know the connection with NY.
Mary is everything you say and more. She is truly a delusional woman. Whitney is totally not in the wrong. I couldn’t even stand this show if it were not for Heather and Whitney and most of the times Meridith. Still not sure about Jenni.
The charges were out of NY, which is dead serious. They sent out of jurisdiction cops because of all the extradition and jurisdiction issues with an out of state warrant.
My recollection is that she was indicted that morning in NY. They act immediately to get her into custody before she finds out. They were probably tossing her house and office at that minute.
So that is where her office was? When you say dead serious, coming out of NY makes it worst?
I need to educate myself about what is the whole backstory here. I appreciate your input!!!!
Can’t wait to see the next episode! I jumped off the couch when I saw them surround the van.
I disagree about Meredith’s outfit. I thought she looked really boxy and it was unflattering. Speaking of her, do we know why her boobs look so weird in her confessional?
This is definitely a question for APG, our resident boobologist.
I’ve been thinking they look weird too! Kind of like they’ve been flattened and squished to the sides.
This is what I was saying last week. Her surgeon must have made them point east and west at the same time. Woman needs to learn about the wonders of the push-up bra.
~APG~
Whitney’s explanation of Mary’s cousins and how they are terrified of her because they believe she is God is crazy. How does this woman manage to convince these poor people she wields the power of God and will use it against anyone who pisses her off? I would tell her where she could go real quick. And it ain’t heaven. And the fact that she inherited her “Godness” from her Grandmother??? What the actual F? You can pass down being God when you die??? I can understand her parishioners being brainwashed and terrified of her, but I don’t understand why the other housewives are. This hot mess needs to go.
The power of a cult leader is their ability to enrapture then trap their victims before they begin abuse. The HW are at the enrapture stage. Mary has some power — good or evil, depending on your views –and we are watching it on screen. I am fascinated, though I do despise her. I would never like her because I can’t abide irrationality. She makes zero sense, like Jen, 90% of the time. Ah, reason.
She hypothesis them with her eyes.
Dying
If 2020 only taught us one thing, it was that a TERRIFYING NUMBER of Americans are susceptible to falling prey to cult leaders. The high price of education in this country is partly to blame. Critical thinking skills are often not even introduced to students until college.
And as a result, MILLIONS of people can’t determine whether the My Pillow Guy or The New York Times is a better source for their “news.”
Did you see the celebration between producers in the background while filming the cops on their phones… discreet fist bump and grins. Hilarious!
Looked like the police fist pumped not producers at end of scene. We’re there fist pumps seen earlier?
So, did Jen Shaw make up an entire lie about her husband being in the hospital? Did she ask for her microphone to be turned off before or after she got that phone call? Well, now we know the allegation is that Jen’s riches came from illegal activity. How did all these other women get so rich?
Yes, we believe that the story about HER HUSBAND was made up on the spot. It’s clear that she was tipped off by SOMEBODY and she immediately went on the run. Tune in next week…
I feel like the call came from her husband. When she answered the phone she said “hey babe” or something to that effect. I guess she could say that to other people but her husband was my first thought.
Unpopular opinion.. but I love Mary she’s just funny.. delusional, yes, crazy, yes.. but funny.. and now that she’s been forced to attend group events.. oh my lord.. I love her.. is that bad? I don’t agree with the cult leader thing though.. they are all cults, any church.. so is just more of the same thing..
Well it’s obvious that Whitney is the one that called the feds
I thought Meredith, or whoever that was in the bathtub, was the one who grassed up Jen.
Why was Jens aunt’s truck in the parking lot to take her? Did I miss something…
I found that odd too. It seems she stepped off the bus to call someone, came back in with the big lie and then ran to the truck.
I bet she was the one Jen was talking to on the phone. Doesn’t she and her kids stay with Jen sometimes? ” hey act cool but feds just raided your house, I’m here in the parking lot so make something up and let’s go”. Something like that ????
I’ve now watched this episode 2.5 times. I can’t remember the last time I watched a RH episode without fast-forwarding, and certainly not twice. This one really had it all.
Leaving Mormonism, crazy dinner party confrontation, insane outfits, crazy SWAT team story, pedicures with crystal champagne flutes, assistants doing packing. It was everything I want in RH. Wonderful.
Late to this party but still will leave this.
Feds went to Jen’s real house Sharieff answered the door. The aunt is who called her hence reason why she never left the parking lot.
Ah So the Feds were at the house BEFORE the parking lot? Then the Aunt went speeding over in the grey truck to take her on the run?
Yes Sharieff gave the feds her location then tipped the Aunt “allegedly” the later part.
