Lisa has Adrienne gather all the cooking materials while Bernie, the household chef, looks on shaking his head. Lisa instructs Adrienne to wash the chicken, and Adrienne uses soap. She tries to explain to Lisa why she put soap on it, but the excuse doesn’t cut it. After Adrienne manages to somehow get the chicken in the oven, the ladies make toast… to go. That’s probably a safe choice.

Taylor and Kyle get their kids together for a play date. Dana joins them. Of course. Taylor asks Kyle if she’s talked to Brandi since the game night disaster two weeks ago. Kyle tells her they haven’t spoken, and Taylor lets her know what Brandi's been going through with her ex-husband. Kyle knowing Brandi’s situation makes her better understand the new girl, but it doesn’t explain why Brandi accused Kim of using crystal meth.

Lisa visits the 60,000 square-foot home of her friend Mohammed to tour where Pandora’s extravagant wedding reception will be held. Lisa explains in her interview that Muhammad sees Pandora as his goddaughter, “which is ironic, because she and his wife are the same age, so the two kind of play together.” Wow.

Adrienne is getting ready for a big, fancy spa day at her house. There’s a ton of cool spa stuff and the waiters have prepared an insane amount of amazing-looking food. And look at all the cheese and crackers!

Kyle is first to arrive, then Taylor, then Dana sneaks in. Lisa arrives with her friend Wendy, and then, Camille comes in. Kim shows up late wearing an adorable pink leopard print sweater. After Kim throws on a robe, the sisters decide to hop on the kids’ trampoline. Kim does some flips on it before Kyle tells her to stop acting like a child and come back inside. Even though going on the trampoline was Kyle’s idea in the first place.

Brandi is the last to arrive, welcomed by awkward silence. She decides to start the spa treatments immediately to avoid talking to anyone. Of course Kyle runs over to Kim and the two start getting catty.

In the other room, a pleasant and cheerful Camille marvels at the food spread. She then heads into the spray tanning room, while Kyle, Kim, Lisa, and Adrienne giggle along with her right outside the door. Maybe Camille is so likable this season because she’s done nothing this entire time, but she sure is doing a great job of it. But she does let slip that she's on the lookout for a new shrink for her kids' after her nasty divorce. "I want someone who is unbiased, someone who isn't through the courts or who has been drafted in by my husband's attorney," she says.

Lisa then runs over to Kyle, who’s lying down for a message, and grabs her feet. While Kyle’s laughing, Adrienne comes over to tell her that Brandi would like so speak to her at some point. ‘I don’t even want to look at her,'' she smolders. "I don’t think she’s cute I don’t think she has a pretty mouth. Dirty, dirty ugly mouth like a sewer. ot someone I'd like in my house. No, thank you!'’

But before Brandi talks to Kyle, Adrienne warns Brandi that she may want to apologize for the comment she made about Kim being on drugs. "She insulted me first. Why am I talking on the blame when they insulted me?," she protests. She was especially hurt when Kyle attacked her parenting skills.

Kim gets upset that Kyle is going to talk to Brandi, and Camille says in her interview that she kind of feels for Brandi, in the sense that she knows what it’s like to be the target in the group.

Kyle and Adrienne meet with Brandi outside, where Taylor is already sitting. Brandi says the confrontation they had earlier has been killing her, and begins to explain herself. Lisa joins them outside. Brandi says she will stop talking about Kim, and asks Kyle to stop questioning her parenting. They barely resolve the argument, and Brandi and Taylor stay outside while the others go inside. Brandi starts to cry, and Taylor tries to talk her down. She tells Brandi that she does need to apologize for the crystal meth comment she made about Kim “because that was way over the top.” Brandi asks if it really was over the top, and Taylor looks as if she’s trying to figure out whether or not Brandi really asked that. Um, yes, Brandi. Yelling about crystal meth during charades is a little over the top.

Now that everyone’s returned to their spa stations, Kim and Kyle argue about the talk Kyle had with Brandi, because Kim is worried her sister may forgive and forget. Adrienne explains to the ladies that Brandi has no filter and that’s just her personality, and Lisa says, “That’s not going to work with me.” As Brandi makes her way to the front door to leave, Lisa joking says, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

Luckily, next week’s episode will focus on Pandora’s engagement party, which means that’s one event Dana and Brandi will not be attending. There’s no way Lisa would allow Dana to come in and ask Pandora to go on vacation with her as she did on game night.
