GIF Recap: A "Fakesgiving" Miracle

After Shannon and David's awkward dinner party (part 2), Vicki has everyone over for "fakesgiving." Heather and Tamra make up over lunch, and Vicki tells Briana she's seeing Brooks again.

By Nicole James

Now that the tears are dry from Episode 2 of Season 9 of the Real Housewives of Orange County, it's time to get to important matters: Brooks. That's right, Vicki's boyfriend is back in the picture, and she has to break the news to Briana. There's also more awkward dinner party action at Shannon and David's, and Heather and Tamra make up. Let's take a look at the GIFs!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

As everyone sat and watched as Shanon and David started bickering (again), Vicki attempted her slyest poker face to get through the uncomfortableness. She should be a detective.

When everyone's chatting "how we met" stories, Heather said she wasn't into Terry at first because he was "a plastic surgeon with a Porsche." Tamra has another word for that.

The best way to ease the tension? A little in-home basketball (thanks to the Beadors' massive house)! Or, you know, whatever game Vicki is playing.

Nothing but net! Just kidding, no one was anywhere close to the basket.

While the b-ball game was under way, Shannon and Tamra bonded over -- what else -- booze. That's the spirit, Tamra. Pun intended.

Yikes -- when Heather made a jab at Tamra about trying one of Shannon's "morning after" hangover pills, Tamra did not appreciate it. There's something about a lady sitting on a counter flipping the bird in a multi-million dollar home that feels so right.

File that dinner party under: Definitely not Heather's favorite. She was feeling a little less than loved by the time she and Terry left. The middle finger can do that to a person.

Tamra stopped by Vicki's for a quick kiki, and the topic turned to Heather's know-it-all-ness pretty quickly. Tamra explained that she doesn't want to fight with Heather, but she just might have to --  Vcki's advice on the subject is short and sweet.

Meanwhile, at the Beadors...

Later at Briana's, Vicki dropped the Brooks bomb -- she told Briana that she and her on-again, off-again BF are on again. Briana, who doesn't have the strongest relationship with the guy, tells her mom how she really feels. And Vicki doesn't back down.

Back to another crisis: Vicki's "fakesgiving" dinner. Here's Shannon's face when she sees the gizzards. Shannon, we know, but what do you think makes stuffing so delicious? Turkey insides, duh.

Baby Troy alert! Baby Troy alert! Little dude on the move.

It wouldn't be an episode of #RHOC without some kind of mention of balls, would it?

Tamra found a little solace at "fakesgiving" because Heather wasn't there to scold her or shake her head at her. Which brings us to...

Heather asked Tamra to come to lunch so they could fix the tension between them. Just so we're clear, correcting Tamra's grammar is "a no-no." Basically, just don't use big words around her in general.

Despite Heather's face here, all ended well in the OC. Tamra and Heather made up, told each other how much they meant to each other, and then Tamra invited Heather to an ugly sweater party. This was her reaction. About the sweaters, of course!
