Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!
Crap!
Hi, everyone. Welcome back. This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe. So that way you always get your episodes. But enough of that. Let's get right back into the episode. So then they go back to the villa and Angie is like, be ready in our dress chic. We're going to a play. At the tomato center.
We're going to a play at the tomato museum. Angie is like, she's saying that there's a lot of issues in the group and she's hoping that by seeing how an outsider perceives them, it'll be an eye opener. I'm like, well, it's an outsider, but basically you fed her lines and then she's just going to regurgitate the lines. Cause let me tell you something.
There's no plot in this play we're about to see. It's just, just spitting out the things that you guys say. So Heather's like, well, I think Bronwyn's stories are like one foot in the bullshit bin and one foot on a banana peel. That's a callback. But clearly this exchange occurred at 2.30 AM, which makes me think Meredith is a sneaky, sneaky friend.
Did anyone else on this show ever have something that happened after 2.30 in the morning when the cameras went off? It's sneaky because the conversation happened in the middle of the night. Okay, because you had the same conversation, but it was in the daytime, so it was okay, I guess, when you were asking about lunch.
I was just saying, she's just upset that no one emerged with a black eye from it, that's all.

Chapter 2: What happens when the group returns to the villa?
Yeah, no one had a black eye to blame production on, so must be sneaky.
So Whitney is like, wow, heading into the play tonight, knowing everything that I've said to Stella and imagine what everyone else has said to Stella. Are we ready to deal with it?
I can guarantee you Stella ignored your ass just like everybody else does with me. So Lisa's like, you know what? I know who I am. They can think whatever. Which is why I will always love Lisa Barlow. Because she's like, whatever. I look hot. Yeah. Well, she says that until she gets massively affected. So Angie's like, so they go. They get in the Sprinter van.
Chapter 3: How does the play reflect the group's issues?
They go to the tomato museum. And Mary's like, it's like a haunted house. So they wind up like in this outdoor area, which is semi-public, because definitely in the middle of the scene, while they were crying, there were definitely people walking around in the background. So there's like a little buffet that's set up.
Brittany's like, well, I'm a lush, so I'll just go straight for the wine, right?
You guys want to fight about me again? That was fun.
Mary's like, does anyone feel suspicious? Suspicious. It's like a creepy cobblestone yard. She's like, what? So she's like, I don't like any of this. We're dressed very nice. This does not seem luxurious. Well, for someone to write a play about your life, you want to dress up for it, Mary.
it's just so funny that mary is the one going into this who's like the most like i don't want to do this i don't like any of this this is terrible but then when the play starts she's the one smiling the entire time she's the one who's acting like she's seeing like like her child's play in school she's just smiling everyone's like crying and like wiping tears away and covering the shock on their faces and she's just sitting there smiling like this is a good play yeah because everyone else gets dissed except for mary you know she loves that that's like that's why she's been so pleasant this whole season because no one's come for mary
So Whitney's like, well, what would be your biggest fear to happen tonight? And Mary's like, I don't have fear. And she goes, mine would be for the person playing me to have red hair. So Heather's like, well, after talking to Stella and giving her a shady description of all my friends, I'm pretty sure this play is going to be a Greek tragedy. Oh, God. Okay.
It's a good thing this is wrapping up because she's running out of fuel over there. So. Angie is like, I'm going to give you each. These are called manilas. Okay. They're folders that you put papers in, but put them on your head instead. But they're like scars and stuff to put on your head. And they all have different colors indicating their character.

Chapter 4: What are Heather's thoughts on the late-night conversation?
And Heather's like, mine is slightly small for my giant head. So I'm going to Winnie the Pooh it. No, it doesn't work that way. So they all put these things on. And now the play begins. So Stella herself is in the play. No one told me that she was an actor writer. Hello, Stella. How she got her groove back indeed. So she walks out with the troupe.
And it's basically the women in flowy dresses and they do have some sort of like scarf that's like color coordinated to the women in the audience. And this lady comes out and she's she's narrating. So she's this lady who looks sort of like Piper from White Lotus. She's like. Behold the daughters, eight born of one house, each born beautiful, brilliant, brutal in her own right.
They call themselves the Sisters of Salt. The world saw elegance. I'm like, hmm. The world saw grace. What the world did not see was the war. It began like so many battles did. undercooked pasta at an extremely overpriced restaurant with something whispered it began like so many wars with someone offering a machine-made cappuccino
someone said something maybe it was someone maybe it was everyone but something was said it's like i don't know i'm gonna need some more work on this play i don't know where y'all found this stella but it was a little on the nose okay can we make it more like could we get andrew lloyd weber in here i mean i want to see them like crawling around singing like songs and stuff
concerned about this Act 1 break. It just feels a little unsteady. Like, I don't know. We need to really just, like, the stakes are just not high enough for me. It needs to be more grounded. I need more in the first 20 pages. We need some character development. The inciting incident is just really not strong enough, okay? We need to be really clear about what started this war, okay?

Chapter 5: How does Whitney prepare for the play's impact?
From the top. But gossip in this family grows like mold. Lisa, one of the eldest. And then it cuts to Whitney. It cuts to Whitney going, ha ha ha.
he was called the eldest she summoned them to a family supper she offered them a challenge dressed as peace i want us to go around the table one by one and reveal one honest thing about the sister next to you no interruptions no lies real without masks heather the deflector laughs loudly mocking the plan mary rises and turns to address her sister heather
heather you're a joke wrapped in mascara i'm like wow i really feel like i'm transformed to ancient greece with that mascara line that was really great i would say just used real lines like heather why would you wear that necklace this does not work at all for you heather you are inbred Heather, what did you say about me on TikTok? I don't know. They must have had it in ancient Greece.
I'm just trying to be honest. You act like nothing touches you, but everything does. And you laugh because crying would make you real. You hide behind your humor like it is armor, laughing loud enough to drown out the things you say. She's like, that's hilarious. We see that it was Mary who basically told Stella, like, yeah, she doesn't communicate her real feelings.
And so now Stella's like, but behind every joke is a shadow, a demon you're too scared to say out loud. And the demon's name is Vecna. Sorry, I just watched the finale. It was really good. Really good. Really good. So then we see a flashback to this, like, Heather, her walls are up, and she's talking about, like, when they ask her about, like, did she go on a date?
When was the last time she went on a date? She's like, what? Ha, ha, ha, ha. What dating? So she's a deflector because she doesn't want to talk about her personal life. Yeah. And then Heather turns to face her sister, Bronwyn. Bronwyn, you're not two-faced. You are no faced. I feel like that's a compliment on the Real Housewives. Oh, my God. Aren't we all going there?
Gretchen Rossi would have taken that as a compliment. I know. That's what everyone's aiming for that. Like, yes, I Botox my face off my face. Bronwyn. Oh, and Lisa is saying to Stella in the flashback. Bronwyn, she has like one face she lets everyone see, and the other one she hides. You want to be trusted, but you treat loyalty like a party favor. Cheap and easy to toss.
Easier than a Whitney to toss. how many parties has Stella been going to? She's like, honestly, that was more of a criticism to my friend, Andromedes. She really gets bad party favors. Just clearly from 99 cents store. Like why?
I went to a New Year's party at my friend Michael's house and he gave us like the little blowy things for New Year's where you're like, New Year's, little thing unfurls, you know, you blow into it. And I picked it up to blow into it. It was chewed on. And I was like, okay, maybe this is like a flute. So I picked up another one. It was also chewed on. I said, we're starting the year on pre-chewed.

Chapter 6: What unexpected reactions occur during the play?
Oh yeah, that was a real heartwarming one. Wasn't that a really depressing show? Probably. I saw it in eighth grade. My parents took me to it. And I was like, Michael Lerner, you are hilarious. So then Bronwyn turns to, Bronwyn turns to her sister, Lisa. Lisa, you are worth like a shield. You carry yourself like a queen among servants. You know, she's like, thank you.
Thank you, finally, a good moment. And then Stella's like- Finally, somebody sees me in this group.
It's so good to get the hero edit.
Stella's like speaking to our sisters, not as equals, but as all men forever beneath your marble pedestal. Thank you.
I did just get that marble in the living room. It took a while, but we got it. It looks great. Thank you so much.
And of course this shit talker was Heather. So a lot of these are Heather, right? Let me see. I'm looking back here. I mean, I assume that they all talk shit about everyone and they gave each sister some sort of Yeah, this was Heather being like, she thinks she's elite, like she's better and cooler and richer than us.
I mean, so then we go to Stella saying, if only you were capable of apology, able to say I was wrong, but that would mean being lesser. And humility is the only thing you can never afford. wait a minute, is that like a new brand? Where do I even get that? I can afford it.
Let me call Henry. Get something by Humility, okay? Tell someone, I want to be on the list for Humility. Thank you.
Lisa turns to her sister, Angie, Angie, daggers lie beneath your tongue. Actually, it is a piece of plate. Really, really rough situation with that tray. So we see that Bronwyn said that like when Angie loves you, she loves you. But when she doesn't, she doesn't. So voice sharp slicing. And then we see a flashback to Angie being like, you look like you've been in a wind tunnel.

Chapter 7: How do the women reflect on their friendships after the play?
I will not be accused of doing a body movement that I simply didn't do.
And if you want to say it, that's fine, but I will not engage with this play any further, Stella. And then if we see Whitney talking shit about her, saying, she plays the victim, a martyr. Back to present. Arguing with you is like shouting into a maze. You drift between brilliance and confusion, and your behavior is unpredictable. How many beans do you need in one salad?
I thought shouting into a maze was actually a pretty good line. I was like, okay, okay, okay, Stella. You're doing okay. Well, if I am shouting, I'm saying, don't go into the maze. You're going to get lost. So Meredith looks down away from the maze, because who wants to go in there? Am I right, ladies? High five. High five. No? Okay. I'll tell you who wants to go in the maze. Hercules, right?
Am I right? Is anyone up on the Hercules stories and mazes? No? Okay. And for the first time, the words fall. Failure. The sister sat. Everyone wore guilt in their eyes. They raised their glasses, swallowing the truth like poison. Moments later, glasses drop and hands tremble. I was like, wait, so they just basically talk shit to each other and all die? Come on, Stella. They all die.
They talk shit to each other and commit mass suicide. I mean, great. Yeah, I mean, we could do better. She made it sound like there would be like a war. I was like, this will be cool. It'll be a war, the war of the seven sisters or whatever, but no, they just all fall to the ground. No, they drank the Kool-Aid. So they're dead. And she's like, and now for the first time ever, the house was quiet.
And then I started laughing. That's what's funny. Stripped of rivalry, stripped of noise, stripped of bobbleheads, stripped of inbred faces. The only voices that ever knew them. And as the candlelight flickered over the stricken faces, the truth was revealed. You're no one without. Well, we have lost one sister. She fell into a maze.
I told you not to go into the maze.
And they're like, okay, thank you for this play. So the women all leave. And Brittany goes, well, that was quite the tragedy. So Heather goes, I mean, they nailed it.
We think we're so good at it, like projecting this image.

Chapter 8: What tensions arise between Meredith and the group?
There were two actresses with my bob. Two. Two of them. I noticed that. At first, I thought they were the actresses that were given wigs to match their hairstyles because I saw the bob. And then I realized they just were naturally bobbed. Yeah. But I have a deep issue and not feeling like people are loyal to me.
And a big part of what that is probably because I'm not loyal to other people or I don't know how to be. And I was like, well, that thank you. But also good for you for a little self-awareness. Yeah. And she says that, you know, kind of what you said earlier, that her past is a list of people who have let her down. And that's why she wants loyalty so bad. But she doesn't know what it is.
And she was when she had Gwen, she was basically, you know, dissed by her parents and they put their shame and embarrassment ahead of how they cared about her. And even Todd, who I love and choose to be with and I'm working things out with. If I'm being really honest, he has he has been loyal to me as well. So.
Worst thing, he was being disloyal while I was dressed as a blow-up rhinoceros at the Southwest Airlines terminal. So that really hurt.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's also funny because this show has really been about loyalty for its entire run. It's always been discussions about I was ride or die for you. You weren't ride or die for me. I was loyal to you. I'm not loyal to you. It's like they are really hung up on it here in a way that it's almost like they should just give up.
Their lives would be so much easier if they stopped hyper-focusing on who's loyal to whom.
they don't old school new york didn't worry about that they just fought and they fought and then they'd get drunk afterwards and they focus so much on who's loyal to whom that they just they're just gonna drive themselves batty because the real the reality is they're not loyal to anyone and that's in this in the context of this show i think that's fine it's just like just do you and like enjoy yourself
Yeah, so Bronwyn's like, well, I was heartbroken by what was said about me, but I was also heartbroken about what was said about you guys. I mean, you guys should have felt bad, too, because that was cutting to each of us. And Lisa's like, yeah, when I first saw Lisa come out, I was like, oh, my God. Like, that's not even brand name what she's wearing.
