It's the calm before the storm as Andy welcomes all the Housewives.

New friends Gretchen and Tamra have each other's back against Tamra's old BFF Vicki.

And what does Alexis have to say about that?

Alexis says Tamra and Heather were constantly talking behind her back.

Fancy Pants comes out of the gate with a lot of opinions.

Heather felt like Alexis was on her case from the start.

Alexis says she no longer feels hurt by Tamra because she stopped caring about her opinion.

Vicki thinks that Tamra's friendship with Gretchen has caused an alienation between her and Tamra.

Gretchen doesn't think it's her fault.

Gretchen wants Vicki to own the fact that she's a hypocrite.

Vicki throws out the first finger point of the night.

Gretchen wants to know why Vicki can judge her relationship and other people can't talk about Brooks.

Vicki thinks your argument is invalid.

Tamra can't believe all of Vicki's accusations against her.

Alexis thinks that Tamra has multiple personalities.

Andy takes a break from filming to catch some footage of his own.

Surveying the scene for the best shoes of the evening.

Andy falls victim to a sudden surprise attack. Birds!

Seriously, birds?!?

Andy has recovered from Bird-Gate and wants to get back to the OC drama.

But the ladies are still laughing over the interruption.

The drama continues as Gretchen and Alexis discuss the Costa Rica trip.

Gretchen claims that she told Alexis about the Costa Rica intervention ahead of time but Alexis doesn't recall that conversation.

Gretchen says even when she hears bad things about Alexis she always defends her.

This side of the couch laughs as Alexis proves their point about being phony by bragging about her private jet.

Mrs. Fancy Pants throws out a finger claiming Alexis treats the show's crew poorly.

But Alexis says everyone she asked had nothing bad to say.
