The RHOC ladies are back for episode two, and so is Vicki Gunvalson.  Buckle up for a wild valentine’s day in Orange County.

It’s Valentine’s Day for the cast of RHOC, and all of the ladies are on their worst behavior – as usual!  Kelly Dodd is trying to force her daughter to be the face of some company, and Jolie is not having it. Shannon Storms Beador sends her daughter off to a dance in a bright yellow dress – they grow up so quickly!

Pre-Vicki

Jolie shows her mom some of the direct messages she’s received on social media and says she hates Vicki now because she has people harassing her about the allegations. “People are direct messaging me calling you a cokehead.”

Braunwyn Windham-Burke introduces her crazy mom.  She was a doctor turned burning man attendee and she sort of looks it.  Braunwyn also introduces us to her “Moroccan love shack” which she has furnished and decorated to not necessarily resemble anything Moroccan, nor love shack-y.  She comes out in a nice black nightgown and awkwardly ushers her husband into the bedroom.

Party-time-Vicki

Prior to her arrival, Vicki text Tamra Judge to let her know she was going to bring up the pig-face-animated-emoji-voice-message that Kelly sent her.  Vicki does have an interview this episode, which I’m sure she loves.

Braunwyn notices Vicki is talking to her husband, Sean, and says, “I don’t know if Vicki is flirting with my husband, but ew.  She’s old enough to be his mother.”

Eventually, Vicki approaches Kelly and asks her to talk. Tamra says it was probably not a good idea to say that Kelly does cocaine, and Vicki yells back “but she called me fat!”

In a very mature fashion, Vicki tracks Kelly down in the kitchen and follows her around, shouting at her, while Kelly runs the other way.  Kelly tells Vicki she’s very upset that she hurt Jolie, which is understandable.

Vicki’s response is that she loves Jolie, but she doesn’t apologize. The episode ends without a resolution between the old friends…but the party continues next week!

The Real Housewives of Orange County is back on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 PM ET.
