Shannon Storms BeadorHeather DubrowGina KirschenheiterEmily SimpsonTamra Judge, Jennifer Pedranti, and Taylor Armstrong have already made The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17 one to remember, but believe it or not, there’s still so much more to come. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

For proof, look no further than the above midseason trailer. Then read on for a breakdown of all the biggest moments set to play out as RHOC Season 17 continues.

Heather and Terry Dubrow’s Big Decision

Heather and her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, have talked about the possibility of relocating to Los Angeles now that their eldest children — twins Max and Nick — are out of the house for college, and based on the midseason trailer, they’re preparing to do exactly that. But when talk of the couple selling their house reaches Tamra and Shannon, the latter cast member is upset the news isn’t coming from Heather herself. As she puts it, “Why wouldn’t she mention it to us?”

Vicki Gunvalson’s Return 

The OG of the OC made an appearance on Episode 8 for a Tres Amigas reunion — during which she shared updates on her life as well as her kids’ lives — but she has yet to reunite with the entire group. Until now, that is. As she proudly declares in the trailer, “I’m baaaack, bitches!”

Friendship Feuds Involving Every RHOC Cast Member

No friendship is safe from drama this season. Several clashes are previewed in the midseason trailer, including ones between Emily and Taylor; Tamra and Jennifer; and Heather and Emily. 

Emily also has a showdown with Shannon in which she tells her, “You are two different people, Shannon. You are Jekyll and Hyde, and I’m tired of it.”

Drama Between Shannon Storms Beador and John Janssen

Shannon’s relationship with then-boyfriend John Janssen looks as though it’s going to remain a sticky subject for the rest of Season 17. At one point, Shannon can even be seen yelling, “You owe my boyfriend a huge f-cking apology!” although it’s not explicitly clear who she’s shouting at.
